What is the FOODBEAST Summer Classic you ask? The classic is our Hot Dog Tasting and Invitational Eating Contest happening this Sunday, August 4th from 5-10 PM at Early Bird Cafe in Orange County, California. You may have already heard about the first featured dog: The California Picnic Dog that includes a Chicken-Fried Dog, Watermelon Guacamole and House-Made Smoked Ranch (pictured below).

Both dogs will be available for the one-night only with $5 tickets good for (1) beer or dog. And if you’ve never watched someone eat 7 fully loaded dogs, stick around for our 7 Dogs of Danger Eating Competition where 6 competitive eaters will be going head-to-head. Eaters that finish the feat of 7 dogs will advance to our sudden-death-dog round, in which eaters will eat dogs one by one until a winner emerges. Let the eating commence.
