Camille O'Brien is heading to Brooklyn to compete in the Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest after signing a contract with Major League Eating. She earned her spot by winning a qualifying event at Hershey Park, eating 8.5 hot dogs. O'Brien prepares intensely, consuming watermelon and practicing with local firefighters to mitigate choking risks. This contest holds deep personal significance for her, as it evokes family memories and she aims to promote volunteer firefighting during the event. This marks her first high-level competition in the world of competitive eating.
"I can't even believe it," said O'Brien. "I actually signed a contract yesterday with Major League Eating, so technically I'm a professional eater now."
O'Brien is also planning to use her moment in the spotlight to promote a cause close to her heart: volunteer firefighting. "I'm hoping to wear some of my fire department bunker gear and promote volunteer firefighting."
