The Best Hot Dogs are not always found at the Local Hot Dog Stand

Today you can find some of the best and famous Hot Dogs and Chili Dogs at Baseball Parks, Football Stadiums, Ice Hockey Arenas, Little League Games, Nascar Events, Soccer Games. Almost any indoor or outdoor event Craft Fairs, Art Festivals, Music events, Public Parks, Play Grounds and I'll bet you will find Hot Dogs in Bill and Hilary Clinton home as well. You might also find some Hot Dogs at John and Cindy McCain home. I don't know about Barack and Michelle Obama, but I think they must love Hot Dogs as well. At a lot of these events you’ll also fine Politics and fine Beer and Wines from all around the world as well as a old style soft drinks and new specialty soda pop as well. All of these drinks go great with any type of Hot Dog.

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
The 2008 event is scheduled for July 4, 2008 at 12 p.m. EDT. It will be televised live on ESPN.
George and Richard Shea, the two brothers who run the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Nathan’s on Coney Island, are considering changing the duration of the competition from 12 minutes to 10 minutes, and some competitive eaters are finding the new rule hard to swallow. George Shea told the Brooklyn Paper that the change is being weighed after an investigation into the traditional time limit unearthed a 1986 Times article that clocks the contest at 10 minutes.

Therefore all qualifying rounds will last just 10 minutes this year, and the ultimate July 4th battle will likely be shortened to that time as well. The change has outraged reigning champ Joey Chestnut, who didn't edge out six-time champ Takeru Kobayashi until the last few minutes of last year’s contest. Chesnut calls the change “ridiculous.”
