The Bay Area resident holds over 40 eating records — including eggs, chicken wings, asparagus, burgers, steak, matzoh balls, bratwurst and wontons — but most know him for his hot dog fame. And why shouldn’t they? July is National Hot Dog Month and more hot dogs are consumed on 4th of July than any other day of the year. 160 million hot dogs are eaten in the U.S. on Independence Day.
