Imagine consuming 66 hot dogs in Wonder Bread hot-dog buns. Well, Joey Chestnut can do it. In 12 minutes, yet. He's the current champion in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Competition. And now Nathan's is looking for challengers in a regional qualifying round, to be held June 21 at Sam's Club, 1200 E. Spring Creek Pkway. in Plano. You must be 18 or older to compete, and you must enter in advance, online. Regional winners will compete with Joey C. for the national title on July 4th, in Coney Island. Prize: the coveted Yellow Mustard Belt. (And, we imagine, a major bout with indigestion.)

This story appears on SideDish as well, but both sites provide no working link for registration. I can't even find any official source that shows that the event is happening in Plano. Nathan's says that qualifying on June 21st is happening in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Update: Registration for the Dallas event is now closed, but area residents are invited to come out to the Spring Creek Pkwy. Sam's Club from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on June 21 to see speed eaters from as far away as Washington State and New York compete for the top prize. Members and non-members are welcome.
Additionally, Nathan's Hot Dogs are now on the menu at Sam's Club cafes nationwide, so enjoy!
