Almost every year the amount of hot dogs consumed goes up. However I think there is some value in under 68.5 this year. I honestly believe the ceiling has almost been hit with very little room for a higher total. Chestnut says in training he has had totals between 69-72 but it seemed like these were the high marks. This suggests there is really only room for 2-4 more hot dogs over the current record of 68 (set last year).
So basically Chestnut will have to be at his best which includes dealing with 30+ degree heat to surpass the mark of 68 set last year.
