The annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is a curious beast -- a spectacle of porcine gluttony staged amid a pro-wrestling-style atmopshere, complete with hooting and hollering fans.
Held each year in Coney Isand, New York, it's a strangely fulfilling way to punctuate the United States' July 4th birthday.
Nathan's is among the biggest event for "gurgitators," or competitive eaters, but it's by no means the only regulated pig out. Check out this list of 19 awesome eating contests from HLN.
