2018 Mets Nathan’s qualifier
Fink Beats the Stomach has the winners
1st | 34 | Nick Wehry | avoids being 1st person to eat 33+ hot dogs in qualifier and not make finals |
2nd | 28 | Brian “Dud Light” Dudzinski | |
3rd | 14 | Michael “Big Hoss” Deitz | |
4th | 13.25 | William “Wild Bill” Myers | |
5th | 10 | Oliver Brooks | |
DQ | ? | John Sharkey |
1st | 7 | Prudence DiBenedetto | |
2nd | 6 | Bailey “Ott Dog” Ott | thought she should have won |
Bailey Otter might have eaten more than winner
If Nick Wehry does not win today’s qualifier, he will be the first person to do 33+ hot dogs in a circuit and not make the finals. Previous competitors who hit that mark either won a subsequent qualifier or received the wild card. The previous high for not making the finals was Pat “from Moonachie” Philbin’s 32 in 2009.

That’s true, dud did eat more than half the qualifier winners, he would have been wild card
