This was the main reason for the trip. Connor and I have been watching this on TV for years. It is now time to see it live.
There were over 75,000 people in the crowd. The street was very crowded. We were standing, packed, in the blazing heat, for two hours waiting for the event to start. The crowd was approaching mob status while waiting for the event.
Finally, the contest started. There was controversy over Takeru Kobayashi not being allowed to compete. Joey Chestnut wins! He comes nowhere near last year’s total without competition.
The event was a total freak show emphasizing every Coney Island stereotype you have ever heard.
We had a blast!
