CONEY ISLAND, New York (CNN) -- Nearly doubling the world record, Takeru Kobayashi of Japan consumed 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes to win the 86th annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest. (Video available from the web page!)

"The hot dog eating contest is not only a beautiful display of athleticism, it is a fundamental way for citizens of all nations to display patriotism," said Wayne Norbitz, president of Nathan's Famous.

I only buy kosher ones for us - no offal allowed in those.

I don't eat hotdogs... they're full of nitrates which are thought to cause stomach cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, and bladder cancer.

In one report, high consumption of hot dogs was associated with an almost tenfold increase in the risk of childhood leukemia when compared with low consumption. In another report, maternal consumption of hot dogs and childhood consumption of hamburgers or hot dogs at least once per week were associated with a doubling of the risk of cancers in children. A review of nine studies found an association between consumption by pregnant women of cured meat and the risk of brain cancer in their offspring. These associations do not yet constitute proof that eating hot dogs or hamburgers causes cancer in children, and evidence linking cured meat consumption to childhood cancers remains somewhat inconsistent.

While it's inconsistent... they taste like ass, so I'm gonna just skip on past them.

Y'know, the guy in the pic says Ass tastes better than the steak. Bio says Hotdogs taste like Ass.

My question is how the blazes do you know - you guys pinch donkeys from some poor rancher or petting zoo????

Ain't it a bigger question about where are they getting the ass to taste?

Hot Dogs taste like cheap.

Even *without* knowing what they're made of.

I buy Hebrew National hot dogs, they taste yummy and the kosher rules mean they are not made from weird leftover crap. They cost 3 times as much, but the peace of mind is worth it

With my burgeoning family, we'd better get us a Costco card and acquire some o' that!
