Here’s the news:
I am producing a promo event for the Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Competition on June 30th for WLNY-TV’s News at Eleven. I have always been a fan of the event and I am thrilled to be a part of the promotion.
WLNY-TV News at Eleven’s CJ Papa and eating legends Hungry Charles Hardy and Badlands Booker competing in their own hot dog eating competition to promote the July 4th Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Monday, June 30th at 3pm
Nathans Famous
1530 Old Country Rd
Westbury, NY 11590
(516) 832-8900
This location is east of Meadowbrook Parkway. It is a big Nathans/Burritoville/Arthur Treachers/Famous Rays (down the block from the main Nathans Headquarters). Come down to watch if you want to be a part of the show.
The segment will be shown on TV10/55 News at Eleven’s sports report at 11pm on June 30th or July 1st.
I am meeting a lot of interesting people doing this. It’s great to be more involved with the food business. Hopefully this will be a success and I can get more exposure in the future.
