Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

Hall Hunt took down 33 hot dogs to run away with the Nathan's Famous qualifier at the Sam's Club in Pinellas Park, Florida.

Hall ate at a steady space throughout the contest, and Fester, a local DJ and former Sam's Club employee, provided some color during Rich Shea's call. The event, absent of music, was almost serene.

In second place was Mierns Miernicki with 14.5 HDBs. In third was local legend Frank "the Frank" Chebetti.
