In the world of speed eating, when you throw down, you might also throw up. It's known as a "reversal of fortune," and if it happens, all the training and the preliminary competition required to qualify for Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest could go to waste. According to Major League Eating, which oversees major food competitions, entrants who reverse their fortune all over the place face disqualification. However, the outcome partly depends on where the spewed food lands. If it makes contact with the table, this induces a DQ and is dubbed a "Roman incident." (The expression presumably alludes to the misconception that ancient Romans had rooms called vomitoriums dedicated to throwing up. In reality, a vomitorium was a stadium passageway that metaphorically vomited people.)

These days, competitive eating has been ironically equated to a sport in its own right. Folks have been tuned into contests in which participants do what most of us dream of doing: eating copious amounts of food in as little time as possible. The competitive scene has evolved to include enormous cash prizes and even has its own professional organization called Major League Eating. Competitive eating has been long recognized as a growing niche in the world of sports and fans have Takeru Kobayashi to thank.Born in Nagano, Japan, the competitive eater has earned the moniker of "the godfather of...

Unless you've been living under a rock -- or aren't into sports -- it's hard not to have not heard about the Joey Chestnut situation. If you haven't though, Chestnut, who has dominated the competition for years, essentially self-banned from Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest after signing a sponsorship agreement with competing brand, Impossible Foods. He's also following this up with a one-on-one eating competition against another former champion, Kobayashi -- but on Netflix, over Labor Day.

Everyone knows that Arby’s has the meats, which is why stopping in there any time of week for a roast beef sandwich, gyro, chicken sandwich, and even its signature curly fries is always a great idea. But, for some reason, foods just seem to taste even better when you get them for free or incredibly cheap.

Sure, chicken nuggets and fries are important, but a food joint should really be measured by who has the best fast food burger. We’re talking hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and anything else with buns, beef patties and all the other usual suspects. Chicken won’t be listed here because, well, those are technically sandwiches.

At this time last year, McDonald's customers were purchasing the Grimace Shake, which went viral, led to many videos, and quickly sold out in Virginia. I drove through two local counties to find the purple shakes for my grandchildren.

Frankly, there's never a bad time for a hot dog. And that means that you should keep a few packs in stock that can be thrown on the grates or roasted around a campfire at a moment's notice. Even if you don't have a way to cook up a few franks outdoors, you can still enjoy a charred brat by using your oven's broiler or air fryer, as long as you monitor the hot dog's progress carefully.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

My grandparents lived across the street when I was growing up. I had many meals, weekends, after-school hangouts, and swim days at their house. It could not have been more ideal—they snuck ice cream on the side and let us stay up for those extra 30 minutes. My childhood is filled with wonderful memories because of them.
