Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

Location: Kansas City, MO
Date: 06-06-2009
Winner: Tim "Gravy" Brown

In the moment of victory Gravy Brown removed his shirt to reveal his bloated belly. It was, to say the least, unfortunate, the only blemish on a perfect June day.

The women in the audience, both young and old, accustomed the the lean bodies of midest working men, were visably repelled.

But Brown was driven to disregard common courtesy by a strong, 32-HDB win in Kansas City, MO. Jim Reeves, in second with 27.5, threatened Brown in the third minute, but thereafter fell behind.

Marco Marquez place third with 27.
