every once in a while i land on “man vs food” and i can’t believe i actually stay to watch this man eat. eat. eat. how does he do this? and he doesn’t appear to be overweight, and yet he eats a 25lb hamburger in an hour?

amazing.

My husband DVRd it, and we watched it Sunday night. It was like a car wreck–we couldn’t take our eyes away. My husband wants to take on the Pork Rind eating contest. He could TOTALLY win that. Did you hear about the TRAINING.IN.THE.OFF.SEASON? Wow. That’s some hot-dog dedication!

Our family planned the day around the hot dog eating contest. Truly disgusting, but now my almost 5 year old has a new life’s ambition… She can’t wait to enter.

Oh, my word – that hot dog eating contest was the grossest thing I have seen in a LONG time. I seriously had to turn away because, YUCK. I cannot believe that they televised that!!! I was standing with my back to the TV, talking to my husband, who was also behind my back because it was icky – I can’t believe you watched it!

I love your memories of the York Peppermint Patties. “smelling the paper like fine wine” – love it. I bought a bag of mini patties for my kids to give as part of gifts to their classmates. Never made it- I ate them all. I had a lot of orders and stayed up late filling them. Late hours, peppermint patties and 10 pounds. Great Christmas memories.

And we watched it, too. I saw the caption on the guy that won the asparagus contest.
ASPARAGUS???!!!

I did the same thing Saturday morning. Nothing celebrates the freedom of our country like hot dogs. We kept pausing it to see what they’d previously won. I probably should have been packing, since we’re moving in 2 weeks.

I am SO grateful that my six year old didn’t catch this on TV! His refined and erudite TV viewing tastes already include “Wipeout”, Nascar and Monster Truck racing. Hot dog eating would put him over the moon!

And I know this is disgusting, but all I could think of when you mentioned the guy who ate all that asparagus was that I’d hate to share a house with him…we all know what asparagus does to your pee. Imagine! Eww.

i feel a need to send you a box of junior mints…the portion control would have been so much easier!
