On October 25th, 2009, Brooklyn Burger Boyz will be hosting a hot-dog eating contest at their Brooklyn location:

This grand event will be held on Sunday October 25th at Brooklyn Burger Boyz, 533 Kings Highway in Brooklyn amoung the hours of 1 & 2PM.

The Hot Dogs will be supplied by A&H – Abeles & Heymann Franks, held to the strictest Kosher standards while our buns will be supplied by Pas Yisrael. A large percentage of our proceeds will be donated to food relate causes.

It will $10 to enter and each contestant will be given 5 minutes to see how many hot dogs

he can eat in that day. The first 5 winners will receive a free Brooklyn Burger Boyz meal for 2 – $25 value, plus a $300 cash prize for whoever come in first. So come Sunday October 25 and enjoy a feast of the greatest Kosher Hot Dogs

Is that an appropriate event for a Kosher audience? I’m not certain. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have participated in a Kosher eating contest before, but something about that bothers me. possibly it’s the “wasting” of bread? perhaps it’s the chance of a “reversal”? What’s your opinion?
