It’s Time for The Dip’s Second Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest

The rare and precious ability to inhale more hot dogs than anyone else in five minutes could score you both fame and fortune at The Dip this week. To celebrate its third birthday, Goodgod's canteen is hosting a hot dog eating contest with prizes including $100 in Dip dollars, a jug of Goodgod's finest punch and a copy of Levins's cookbook, Diner.

Observe the mingled joy and pain on the faces of their previous spicy wing eating contest entrants. Those seeking more inspiration need look no further than one of the competitive eating world's most legendary face-off, Kobayashi versus a giant bear. The night sounds like lots of fun for non-entrants, too, since you can drink, dance, eat deep fried birthday cake (non-competitively) and watch the sweaty, straining faces of those striving for the noble title.

The hot dog eating contest is on Thursday, May 29, at 8pm. Email [email protected] to register for the comp.
