It’s time for your favorite Twin Cities 4th of July tradition, The Depot Tavern’s Diamond Dog™ Eating Contest!

Once again we’re searching for six brave souls (and stomachs) to see how many Diamond Dogs™ they can eat in 10 minutes. They’ll fight their way through the 1/4 Pound All Beef Hot Dog, Wrapped with Pepper Bacon, and Deep-Fried, Served on a Pretzel Bun and on to glory and fabulous prizes.

Are you up for the challenge? Submit your name, age and a 2-3 sentence bio to contest@first-avenue.com. We will be accepting submissions from now until Wednesday, June 19 at noon. Contestants will be notified by Thursday, June 20 at noon.
