 NEW YORK (AP) - Shall we just get the obligatory pun out of the way? An hourlong special on speed eating may not be something everyone can stomach.
It's entertaining — and timely, for this is a momentous week in the world of speed eating, with Joey Chestnut triumphantly cramming 66 hot dogs down his esophagus and dethroning six-time champ Takeru Kobayashi in the annual Nathan's Fourth of July contest.
It's also not a pretty thing — unless you find it pretty to see adults treating their digestive tracts like garbage disposals, shoving in appalling amounts of food.
