Nathan’s Famous hot dog-eating contest hits CMA Fest

While touring downtown at the CMA Music Festival this year, save some room for hot dogs — lots of them.

Nathan’s Famous is touring the country to find contestants for the 2015 Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest.

The restaurant invites Nashvillians to eat as many hot dogs, and buns, as they can in 10 minutes. The top male and top female finishers will qualify for the ESPN-televised finals at Coney Island.

The tour hits Music City on June 13 in Tootsie’s Country Music Fan Fest Alley.

While no Nathan’s Famous restaurants are in Nashville, its products are available in several area grocery stores.
