From the N&O.
Eric Bridenstine, 26, of Raleigh is the
new Roast Grill record holder having eating 19 hot dogs in 53 minutes
this afternoon. Asked how he was feeling, he said, “I’ve felt better.”Bridenstine’s
day job is as a producer for the Carolina Hurricanes and the Wolfpack
at the RBC Center. He says he was questioning the decision to undertake
the challenge after hot dog #2. But he had a lot of support from his 7
or so buddies cheering him on today.Bridenstine decided to
take on the challenge after seeing a recent episode of Man v. Food
where star Adam Richman ate 17 Roast Grill hot dogs in one hour.That record didn’t last long when the previous record holder returned to North Carolina to take back the record.
