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.
