Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

Location: Tempe, AZ
Date: 05-30-2009
Winner: Erik "The Red" Denmark

Erik "The Red" Denmark earned his spot at the Coney Island table on July Fourth by downing 28 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes at the Arizona Mills Mall Saturday afternoon. Bryan Beard of Aurora, CO finished in second with 14 hdb's and Jin Daikoku of San Fran ate 13 hdb's, good for third place.

Denmark is no stranger to the Coney Island stage qualifying for the past three July Fourth contests and certainly looking forward to his fourth trip to the big stage this year.
