Jerry Seinfeld visits Nathan’s, calls hot dog contest “disgusting”
In the most recent episode of Jerry Seinfeld’s web video series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he travels to Coney Island with Todd Barry. While dining at Nathan’s (10:38 mark) they have the following conversation: (via Bensonhurst Bean)
JS: Have you ever seen that disgusting Nathan’s hot dog eating contest?
TB: I don’t understand why you would want to be good at that
JS: Well they dip the hot dog in the water
TB: Yeah
JS: The dryness is what slows down the consumption
TB: It prevents them from having 73 hot dogs in two minutes. Gotta wet em. All I can think about is what happens after.
JS: It must be just unbelievable. Joey Chestnut, right, I believe he is the champion.
TB: Oh, is that who it was? I knew it was a guy from Japan for a while.
JS: Kobayashi. Are you surprised that I know these names?
TB: Yeah, I have only watched it a few times.
JS: I don’t think I have ever seen it, and yet I know the names of the winners.

I think Seinfeld wears a very expensive toopay to cover up his burnt off scalp.
