Promotional poster in Nathan’s restaurants

On a recent trip to a Nathan’s restaurant, Don “Moses” Lerman saw a poster promoting the July 4 hot dog contest. Some of the pictures on the bottom are not what you would expect. Andersson is the Swedish competitor Robert Andersson. (Hopefully he will bring his girlfriend again 😉 )

The URL on the poster TheNathansRematch.com redirects to a “Coming Soon” page.

The poster says the contest will be on ESPN, so it will not be part of the Spike TV series.

MosesNews.com also has some great pictures of all the competitors in some of the Nathan’s contests earlier this decade.

    When are most of you going to wake up and smell the coffee . ifoce’s bread and butter is Nathans and some of the other meaningless contests they conduct throughout the year are designed specifically to keep the other members interested so they don’t get bored and jump to another eating organizaton . They were able to secure a sponsor golden palace, which made it seem like they were running or spreading out a variety of contests for everyone when in reality it was one big sponsor paying the big bucks to the Shea’s . Spike Tv is another short lived venture down the toilet. Without Krystals and Nathan’s they would have nothing

    Did anyone notice that the person with the third highest qualifier in US history, Chip Simpson, is not present but people like Seaver and the Swede are who have never eaten 25. Does anyone else see a problem with this?

    The promote who they want to promote. They might not like Simpson or just think he is not media material . No matter how many hot dogs Conti eats his face will always show on a billboard. The new face they are promoting seems to be Seaver Miller. I am sure Chestnut is not their cup of tea either but in that case they just have no choice.
