This week, ironically, I recorded the
longest time it can possibly take a human being to consume a hot dog. The competitors were Stan “the Man” (my dad, 95) and Pearl “the Girl” (my mom, 91). They insisted on having a hot dog at the crème de la crème of hot dog emporia, Costco. They shared one.
It took them 1 hour and 15 minutes to polish off the dawg with kraut. By my calculation, Chestnut could have eaten 420 in the same time.
But they’re not pros.
