Joey Chestnut vs. 6-Foot Hot Dog?! You Won't Believe This Food Challenge!
Get ready for a culinary showdown! Competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut, a 17-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion, is heading to Minnesota to tackle an epic food challenge: the 'Land of 10,000 Calories'. This monstrous meal, served at CHS Field during a St. Paul Saints game on August 8th, features a six-foot-long hot dog loaded with pulled pork, mac and cheese, jalapeños, and barbecue sauce. And that's not all – it comes with six feet of fries and a mountain of jalapeño poppers!
The 'Land of 10,000 Calories': A Foodie's Everest
The 'Land of 10,000 Calories' isn't for the faint of heart. Weighing in at a whopping 23.5 pounds, this behemoth has rarely been conquered, and never by fewer than a dozen people. Chestnut, known for his incredible eating feats (including a world record of 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes!), will be joined by fellow competitive eater Bandana.eats, a Minnesota native, in this monumental challenge.
No Time Limit, Just Pure Eating Power
Unlike timed competitions, Chestnut and Bandana.eats will have the freedom to devour the 'Land of 10,000 Calories' at their own pace. This gives them a strategic advantage, allowing them to focus on maximizing their intake without the pressure of the clock.
A Saints Game Snack (for the Brave)
If you're attending a Saints game and feeling adventurous (and have $135 to spare), you can order the 'Land of 10,000 Calories' at the Dog Park concession stand. Be warned, though: it takes 45 minutes to prepare, and the Saints can only make about five per game. Will Joey Chestnut conquer this colossal creation? Find out on August 8th!
