How many hot dogs could you eat in one go?
It started with 13, consumed by the winner of a bet between friends at Nathan’s Hot Dog place on Coney Island. This has grown into a high profile annual eating competition which lays claim to international status, at which the top competitors consume literally dozens at a time.

They don’t altogether succeed – this badly structured, somewhat scattershot film will leave you with more questions than answers – but they do manage to entertain and to provide an introduction to a fascinating world. If you raise.

The film was directed by Russian-born reality TV producer, Joseph Ruzer, who has shows like For the Love of Ray J, Flavor of Love, New York Goes to Work and Glam God with Vivica A Fox to his many credits. Ruzer claims that he got the idea for the film while watching President Obama gave a State of the Union address. I don't want to say too much about the film. I want you...
