…eating speed "In the race to scarf down as many hot dogs as possible in 10 minutes, competitive eaters may have a limit: 83 franks, buns and all. That's according to an analysis of nearly 40 years of the storied Nathan's Famous Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest. Started in the 1970s in New York City, the contest now is a televised international event.
