This Fourth of July, doctors want to remind you about firework safety, especially with many friends and family coming together this holiday.
NEW YORK — The annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July will see a slate of competitive eaters wolf down as many franks as they can in New York City on Thursday — but this year, the event’s biggest star will be chowing down 1,900 miles away.
Thousands of fans flock each year to the event held outside the original Nathan’s location in Brooklyn's Coney Island, a beachfront destination with amusement parks and a carnivalesque summer culture. ESPN will broadcast the contest live, kicking off with the women’s division at 11 a.m. ET, while the men’s will begin at approximately 12:20 p.m.
Ahead of the event, ESPN said it would focus on two Americans with dedicated camera shots: Massachusetts high school teacher Geoffrey Esper, in the men’s division, and Florida dental hygiene student Miki Sudo, in the women’s.
