The Hot Dog Hall of Fame
Eat 12 Corner Bar chili dogs in four hours and your name goes on the wall. That's the whole challenge, and it's been the rule at the Rockford Corner Bar since the Hot Dog Hall of Fame began in 1968.
Nearly 7,000 legends have made it, from first-timers out of Rockford and Grand Rapids to eaters from across the country. The house record belongs to Molly Schuyler, who put away 50 chili dogs in 22 minutes in 2021. Joey Chestnut stopped by in 2006 and ate 36.
Every legend has a spot on the wall at 31 N. Main Street in downtown Rockford, Michigan, and now a page of their own on this site. Search the wall to find yours, or come in hungry and earn it.
