Dale Boone describes his techniques in the article:
“I came Monday night with these big cups,” Boone said. “I get here tonight, every single one of them’s got a big cup.
“They’re paying attention to me. That’s what’s scary.”
Boone one-upped them again though: They brought bigger cups of water this time but Boone dipped each of his Uglies in a cup of hot tea.
The article reports that Boone ate 21 hot dogs at an Elizabethton, TN hot dog contest earlier that day. It does not say how he placed.
