The Mallard Drake in Greenpoint is hosting its inaugural Hot Dog Competition on May 9, featuring 10 local competitors known for their hot dog eating prowess. While names like Joey Chestnut won’t be present, contenders such as Matt "the Flamin Croatian" and Sam "The Weiner Tower" are vying for the top prize, which includes cash and a bar tab. The hot dogs will be unusually large, almost a foot long, enhancing the event's appeal alongside other attractions like a dunk tank and free food.
Pop took shots at Mejias, asserting, 'I just passed by this guy, Sosa, and I didn't even say hello to him.' This playful rivalry adds excitement to the competition.
According to Rachel Aarhus, the competition organizer, 'the dogs will run almost a foot, double the size of Nathan's six-incher,' ensuring a unique experience for attendees.
