Spike's Challenge!

It has been some time since I've taken on a challenge. Not to say that I haven't been eating inordinate amounts of food, but nothing formal. So while in Boston for my fraternity's Initiation Banquet, I decided to take on the Spike's Hot Dog Challenge. The challenge is to eat 6 hot dogs in under an hour and a half. Sounds easy, but these are some pretty large hot dogs. I'd failed this once during my undergrad, but I knew I was better prepared. I decided to up the stakes a little by going in massively hungover and already nauseous.


I decided to get 3 buffalo hot dogs, 2 sauerkrauted up dogs, and one insanely effing spicy dog. Attacking just the hot dogs first, and leaving the buns for last, I clipped along at a pretty good pace. The spicy dog halted me in my tracks for a few minutes (VERY spicy), but I kept chugging along. 20 minutes in, I had finished the hot dogs and moved on to the buns.


47 minutes in, I finished it up. Feeling like crap, but I blame that on the spice and the hangover. Count it!

Challenges:
Overall: 7-9
Quantity: 4-9
