NEW this year - Top Dog: Vegan Hot Dog Eating Competition,
sponsored by Upton's Naturals!
Love vegan hot dogs? Think you can eat 5 faster than anyone else? Enter our Top Dog: Vegan Hot Dog Eating Competition, sponsored by Upton's Naturals! This event will take place at this year's Tiny Dog 500 on Sunday, September 7th at Midwest Coast Brewing Company.
The contest will be judged by World-Record-holding competitive eater Patrick Bertoletti, who won the Nathan's Hot Dog Mustard Belt Title in 2024 after eating 58 hot dogs with buns in just 10 minutes.
Contestants will race to eat five Updog Vegan Hot Dogs, generously provided by our friends at Upton's Naturals. The top competitors will win a gift card to local Chicago eateries, plus bragging rights as the first ever champion of this competition.
About our Judge, Patrick Bertoletti:
Patrick Bertoletti is a local competitive eater who is known for dozens of World Records (like 47 donuts in 5 minutes!) as well as winning the Nathan's Hot Dog Mustard Belt Title in 2024 after eating 58 hot dogs with buns in just 10 minutes. Patrick is a rescue dog lover - pictured below with his pups Deb and Lou - and will be making his second appearance supporting One Tail at a Time - the first being when he challenged a dog to a canned dog food eating contest in support of Giving Tuesday.
