July 4th is almost here. And though you may be thinking about how to beef up your grill this year, in NYC’s Coney Island, it’s all about those dogs. Hot dogs, that is.
Come this Fourth of July, the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating contest will be in full swing, at its new location at the home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, Mainmonides Park. According to the NY Post and Major League Eating co-founder Richard Shea, whose company runs the event on behalf of Nathan’s Famous. “The Nathan’s July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest has been around longer than the Masters, longer than the NBA Championship and way longer than the Super Bowl. It is one of, if not the most, venerable dates on the sports calendar. Rivaled perhaps only by the Kentucky Derby.”
Want to join hot dog eating champ, Joey Chestnut, and grill up these Coney Island original hot dogs at your own backyard bbq? Goldbelly, the online specialty food delivery service, has you covered for even the most glutinous orders. And, if you are a new customer and order now, you can get $15 off a $50 purchase with the code GetInMyBELLY.
Nathan’s Famous is offering a selection of delicious deals for the Fourth. If you’re looking to keep it simple, you can order the Hot Dog Meal Kit, for 12 ($109) or 24 ($139). This comes with an equal amount of garlicky, snappy hot dogs (a secret recipe, FYI) and buns, as well as crinkle cut fries, sauerkraut and a bottle of Nathan’s Famous deli mustard.
Or, you can get (not) fancy with the Chili ‘n Cheese Lover Kit ($189), which is comes with 24 dogs and buns, the crinkle cut fries and the mustard, but adds six and a half pounds of cheddar cheese sauce and three pounds of chili sauce.
Of course, if you want to keep it classy this Fourth of July, you an also consider the more refined dogs from Pat LaFrieda Meats. Another New York classic, these are the crème de la crème of dogs. And they are darn good. You can grab a 16 pack of Pat LaFrieda All Beef Hot Dogs for $33.50 and get them delivered straight to your door.
So sit back, watch the rockets’ red glare and the bombs bursting in air, and have a dog gone great holiday.
