Nathan's Famous Inc.

Rich LeFevre of Henderson downs a hot dog during Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest last week in New York.

25

That’s how many hot dogs Rich “The Locust” LeFevre of Henderson consumed in 10 minutes during the 2008 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4 in Brooklyn, N.Y. Unfortunately for LeFevre, the 25 dogs were well off the pace set by winner Joey Chestnut (59 franks in 10 minutes), and left him tied for 13th place.
