+79 Hotdog eating contests should be conducted with the hotdog eaten as one bun-frank unit, not buns and franks eaten separately. amirite?

It makes them much easier to eat. Easier to get down. I was in a contest once with no water & you ate the dog/bun as a whole. 20 times more difficult.

I don't care either, but if i were to go see a hotdog (or any food) eating contest and they were eating disassembled ingredients, I'd lose interest and be a bit annoyed "

But I don't know why water dunking matters. Seeing the performers use natural eating motions would make for a more engaging event to watch.

Agree with every word

The key word here is "served." The contestants are served proper hot dogs, by definition. How the item is consumed is irrelevant.

So long as the person is eating the thing in equal measure is all that matters. Yes 12 patties, 12 buns, and 12 slices of cheese all going together by the same person counts as having eaten 12 cheeseburgers.

Huh I've never seen a hot-dog eating contest done with the dogs and buns separate.

Well, that's how it's described on page 237 of the rule book. /s

Do you also want to dictate how many times they need to chew?

Why? You're just making up arbitrary rules for the sake of having arbitrary rules. It doesn't change anything other than allow you to micromanage how they eat the hot dogs. Would you be interested in a job with your local government? You would be perfect for it!

I think the thing is to eat more like the unit, the whole thing. What would you do if you ordered a hot dog and got just the sausage?

How about Pro and Amateur divisions with a two wins within five consecutive years limit to participation?
