Nathan’s Hot Dog-Eating Contest returns to the outdoors
Chestunt: `It’s like a marathon runner running’
The Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Championship returned outdoors over the weekend, making the historic event look and feel a little more like normal than last year.
The event usually takes place on the corner of Surf and Stillwell avenues. Last year, it was held indoors without a large audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, Maimonides Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, hosted the contest before a limited in-person audience during the free, ticketed event.
