Who’s hungry for some Bratwurst?
The Cincinnati Bengals announced their planned halftime entertainment for their Week 1 home game against the New England Patriots, and it’s a five-versus-one Bratwurst-eating contest.
If you’re a fan of the exciting sport of competitive eating, you’re in luck. If the only thing you know about competitive eating is the name Joey Chestnut, you’re also in luck.
That’s right, football and tube-shaped meat fans, Joey Chestnut, the G.O.A.T. of the competitive eating world, will be taking on five brave souls in an eating contest to see who can gobble down the most Bratwursts.

Bratwurst, of course, is a German sausage very popular in the Greater Cincinnati Area because of the region’s heritage.
It is also likely to celebrate and promote Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, which will be later in September, and is the second-largest Oktoberfest celebration in the world, and the largest in the United States.
So, who are you going to put money down on (I’m assuming you’ll be able to make a bet on this)? Joey Chestnut, who has won 16 Nathan’s Hotdog Eating Contests, or five dudes who must really like Bratwurst?
