Bluff Hot Dog Eating champ chewed his way to a win

From Morning Report, 8:56 am on 29 November 2021

The winner of the inaugural Bluff Hot Dog Eating Competition managed to chew his way through ten American-style hot dogs in just under twenty minutes last weekend.

Bluff man Frazer Murdoch says he felt so good after his win, he even had two more beers and then a bowl of ice cream when he got home.

The world record holder for hotdog-eating - Joey Chestnut, who ate 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes - can keep his title, though, Frazer tells Corin Dann.

"I'm not actually a small man myself and I've always been a big eater, but ten hot dogs was just enough."

This was Frazer's first-ever eating competition and he only decided to enter on a whim that day.

The frankfurters he was tasked with eating were a bit hard to chew through, he says, but he soon developed a technique:

"You eat the frankfurter first then pick up your bun, dunk it in water and just munch away like a mouse eating corn."

Frazer Murdoch also happens to be "the world's southernmost dieselpunk".
