Pop quiz:
You’re an ESL teacher at an accredited English language school in Boston’s posh Back Bay.
Where do you take your students for the final field trip of Session 8?
Obvious Answer:
First to bowling, then to a hot dog-eating contest, of course!
I’ve written a photo essay about Laos, but what follows is far classier: a photo essay documenting a hot dog-eating challenge!
To be frank (haha!) I think you’ll dig the tale’s shocking twists.
And you’ll have to wonder: would YOU be up for the hot dog challenge???



6.) The dogs leer cockily at Ed and Dave. Who would win: Man or Frankfurter?? Who could gulp down more dogs: Dave or Mike?



8.) SUDDENLY, student Mike enters the race! Could such a petite, mild-mannered man even eat one dog?

I would throw up after eating three hot dogs. I just don't have the stomach to eat all those hot dogs. I can barely eat two hot dogs, never mind three. I noticed that only men were doing this.

The hot dogs looks huge. If it was me eating all those hot dogs, I would have been stuffed on the third one. I can't believe Mike finished all of those hot dogs. He had an awesome plan and he should go attend an eating contest.

I'm hungry now. Those hot dogs look delectable! But I don't think I could finish that much in such a short period of time. The pictures look so funny! The hot dog then bun technique seems like it worked well. I think if I was in that contest, I would've hurled after the fourth one!
