Here is a list of states sorted by the number of Nathan’s qualifiers they have held since July 5, 2002 according to the eatfeats database. A list of all qualifiers follows. I think the NYNY Casino in Las Vegas is the only site to have held a qualifier all 15 years.

Actually I must be drunk since the Nathan’s one was two similar but different topics, but it could have been condensed to one article. You’re STILL slipping. j/k OJ.

Anyone else disturbed that despite ranking as the two most populous states, CA and TX have have hosted only the 12th and 8th most Nathan’s qualifiers, respectively? Nice job MLE and Nathan’s!!
