For thousands of years, the Nathans Hot Dog eating championship has taken place on July 4th. (Joey Chestnut always wins.) I recall watching that competition one year at Bob’s Bar after an IDI event. Oh yes - the IDI. Another amazing event. Yep - it’s an odd year. There was no parade and no potato salad. Doug was not the grand marshall for any event. And yet, we played on. Special thanks to Doug and Big J for joining me for an amazing afternoon.
