The Soda Factory's Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest Is Back
All those other nights you ate multiple dawgs at the Soda Factory? Those were just practice.
Considering the Soda Factory's famed Tuesday Dollar Dawgs, you might already be engaged in your own personal weekly hot dog eating competition. But now everybody's favourite secret bar is taking the ritual public, and they're taking it professional. Their Hot Dog Eating Contest, returning for its second year on September 2, will pit the mightiest scoffers and speediest peristalsis practitioners head to head in a tournament as old as time (or at least 1916).
Five limited edition gourmet hot dogs will be available for eaters competitive and recreational, as well as the usual Wednesday deals of $10 buckets of fried chicken and $1 hot wings. The comp will be hosted by Colonel Mustard, and if you're the last glutton standing, you'll bag a $200 dinner and drinks tab. Second and third place-getters will also get a little something. And this year, the Soda Factory will be donating $10 for every hot dog eaten in the contest to Oz Harvest. The more you eat, the more they'll donate.
To enter or spectate, register at [email protected] with your full name or chosen fighting alias (or just sign up at the venue on the night). There'll be separate heats for men and woman, and entry is free. Potentially, it will be the largest free meal you've ever had.
The inaugural Soda Factory contest coincides with the USA's 'National Hot Dog Day', though that seems entirely unnecessary. Who needs more reason to stuff their face with snags?
The Soda Factory's annual Hot Dog Eating Contest is happening on September 2 from 5pm.
