Hot Dog Hall of Fame
Over 5,000 names mark the walls of The Corner Bar Hall of Fame as a testament to the strength of character (and stomach) necessary to meet the chili dog challenge.

The rules are simple. Eat 12 hot dogs with at least our special chili sauce in one four-hour sitting and YOU will become a member of the Hot Dog Hall of Fame. Eat 20 chili dogs in the four-hour time period and the dogs are on us.

The Corner Bar's Hot Dog Hall of Fame was established in 1968. Since then, more than 5,000 names have been added to the Hot Dog Hall of Fame. Our longest-reigning champion was Sharon VanDuinen who ate 42 ½ chili dogs in the four-hour time allotment in March 1982 - a record that stood for 23 years.

In December 2005, Balinda Gould gulped down 43 hot dogs to pass Sharon and be crowned our Amateur Champion. Then in March 2006, a number of competitors from the International Federation of Competitive Eating descended to take on what is perhaps the world's only chili-dog competition. Tim Janus beat out Joey Chestnut, Patrick Bertoletti and Hall Hunt to eat 43 1/2 dogs and become the reigning Professional Champion.
