If you’re not already at Coney Island, you may be too late. The good seats for the 91st annual Nathan’s Famous July Fourth International Hot Dog Eating Contest are probably all taken. (Thankfully, you can catch it live on ESPN, starting right about now.)

No word if Joey Chestnut, the current US record-holder, having engorged himself with 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, will be there, up against defending champion Takeru Kobayashi of Japan.

Happy 4th.
