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.)

What Happens If You Throw Up During Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest?

The annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is a unique Fourth of July tradition in the U.S., with Joey Chestnut dominating the event, winning 16 out of the last 17 competitions since 2007. Joey Chestnut set the all-time men's record by consuming 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes in the...

Joey Chestnut won't be "sitting on the bench" when July 4th rolls around.

Unfortunately, it appears that he still won't be allowed to compete in Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th. That news hit really hard for some, including myself, who have made it an Independence Day tradition to turn on the TV and watch the greatest athlete of all time, Joey Chestnut, devour hotdogs at breakneck speeds.

The decision to ban Chestnut from the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest came after it was revealed that the competitive eater signed an endorsement deal with Impossible Foods. The New York...

When it comes to summertime grilling, the stakes are high. The sun is blazing, kids are running wild, everyone is hungry, and all eyes are on you while you tend to an open fire. No big deal, right? While burgers have a reputation for being an easy option to serve when curating a cookout menu, they are incredibly hard to do well, especially at scale. You have hot spots to contend with and flare-ups to manage, knowing that just a couple of minutes separate a perfectly cooked burger from one that looks and tastes more like a hockey puck. That said, in my opinion, the payoff of a perfectly cooked burger is worth the cortisol surge of (wo)manning the grill. One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.

Cookout season is among us, which means it's time to pick up hamburgers and hot dogs at the grocery store, fire up the grill, and get cooking. This also means it's time to stock up on buns, and that's where you might run into a little snag: It's way too easy to end up with a lot of extra hot dog buns, especially if you bought them in bulk for a large group. You don't want to toss them all out, but maybe you tried to freeze and defrost leftovers before and found the results to be less than palatable. Is there any way to save these buns, or are they a lost cause?

From July 1, Baskin Robbins are bringing back a limited edition ice-cream flavor that had a cult following when it first dropped in 2021. Beach Day is one of their most popular flavors, and when it disappeared last summer, the ‘Beach Day Baddies’ – the self-proclaimed fandom of the ice-cream, went into a tailspin.
