2023 Selsey, England Nathan’s qualifier

August 26, 2023 at 7:27 am by ojrifkin · More posts about:2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Contest, Contest Results, Max Stanford, Sussex

update Official results
1 Max Stanford 34
2 Radim Dvoracek 21.5
3T Ronnie Hartman 14.5
3T John Dawes 14.5

1 Rhea Jarvis 4

If accurate, Max Stanford’s total of 34 would break the UK record of 32 set by Beard Meats Food in 2019, but there might have been a miscount.

update Ronnie Hartman announced he was third with 14.5 hot dogs, Max Stanford was the male winner, and Radim Dvoracek was the runner up.

MLE is billing today’s contest in Selsey, England at Seal Bay Resort as the first British Nathan’s qualifier, but there was an qualifier in Birmingham, England in 2005 using pork pies instead of hot dogs.

The competition won by Rob Burns was the subject of a documentary, “The Big Eat”, which can be viewed on youtube.

Dean Bemrose finished a 20 patty burger challenge in 23:50 at Beast Burger in Hull. The restaurant will pay £200 if Radim Dvoracek's record of 8:48 is broken.

The Irish Sun has an article about Katina DeJarnett attempting a breakfast challenge in Ireland consisting of a roll containing ten sausages, black pudding, eggs, baked beans, rashers and numerous chips (french fries). Some spectators thought that the addition of the chips invalidated the meal's status as authentic Irish cuisine.

Alan has responded by saying he will do a live uncut taco eating challenge on Sunday. updateSunday, Alan attempted to eat what he claimed were 5 GigaTacos, but could finish only about 1.5.
