Jul 21, 2021 You re looking at my lunch today. Two of Mansfield s finest franks from The Coney Island Diner. I could think of no better way to celebrate National Hot Dog Day than with a Coney Island Diner hot dog and coney. (sauce and cheese only) The Hot Dog aka The Frank, frankfurter, wiener, weenie, red hot, sausage, dog or by any other name it s still an American favorite. An estimated 150 million are consumed each July Fourth in The United States. Over six dozen of those by one man, competitive eater Joey Chesnut. Chesnut won the 2021 Nathan s Hot Dog Eating Contest by consuming 76 hot dogs and buns in ten minutes to set a new record.
