One with sauerkraut, please

I wouldn't think of going to Coney Island
without stopping here for a "Nathan's famous."
(In fact, I might make the trip expressly
for one of their delicious dogs.)
[To see more Mellow Yellow, go here.]

Hot dog!

Must admit, I've never understood the appeal.

But it's a big deal here in Brooklyn. Last year's winner broke 

his own record at this year's 4th of July contest—go, Joey!

I stopped in at this flagship Nathan's the weekend 

before the contest and ate precisely ONE (1) hot dog. 

It did have sauerkraut on it, though.  They have to

post calories on the menu (more than 2,000 for a double 

cheeseburger!) and the hot dog has 309.  So at 68 dogs,

Joey consumed 21,012 calories (and 1,360 grams of fat) 

in 10 minutes!  (That's about how many calories I

consume in 2 weeks! How about you?)
