@dailymail: Only in America do citizens celebrate their country's birthday by stuffing their faces with as many hot dogs as possible in under 10 minutes. Every year in Coney Island, Brooklyn, the world's greatest eaters assemble for a contest of resilience, willpower, and sausages. Amidst all the water-soaked buns, the sweat on competitors' foreheads, and the hot dog-themed merchandise, we found joy, celebration, and, most of all, pride. This country may be only 250 years old, but its holiday traditions and heroes are treated with respect and admiration. LeBron James dunks basketballs. Aaron Judge hits home runs. And Joey Chestnut eats hot dogs. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of indigestion. What's more American than that? #hotdogs #america #joeychestnut #food
