Nathan's Famous 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Contest Qualifier in Sunrise, FL

Location: Sunrise, FL
Date: 03-24-2007
Winner: Chip Simpson

The 2007 Nathan’s Famous worldwide hot dog-eating circuit began on March 24th in Sunrise, Florida. It was a rainy day in the Sunshine State, but the hot dogs wait for no man.

Chip Simpson has earned the first seat in the 2007 Nathan's Famous 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, setting the bar high with 39.25 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes.

Second and third place were far behind Simpson, with James Saliba eating 14, and Jon Koehnker eating 13. It seems like this year, more than ever, the amateurs will face quite a challenge when they compete with a Major League Eater. But we never know when the next Chip Simpson, Pat Bertoletti, or Sonya Thomas might appear.

All qualifiers are open to those 18 years of age and older and applications will be taken online at www.nathansfamous.com.
