Thanks for clearing that up Mr. Cortese, I was just thinking: "no, he has an honest face".

I am the guy on the left, and I didn't seperate the dog from the bun. The bun didn't run the entire length of the dog. Thanks, Doug Cortese

i'm only talking about the 30" one in as quick as possible. i think i could do the whole pack, but i'm not sure i would want to. there was more dog left than bun, so it's only natural that he had extra dog left towards the end.

Come on, Tien, you could eat it. If a hot dog is good, I don't see any problem with downing six of them. I've bought and eaten entire packs of Hebrew Nationals before. Not in two minutes, mind you, I do like to savor my food. with these rules you could not desecrate the hot dog. No separation of bun and dog,Looks to me like the guy on the left in the last picture should be disqualified for eating his dog outside the bun.
