Leave it to the remarkably unique city of Austin to host a massive veggie dog eating contest deep in the heart of Texas. This is the same legendary town that boasts a team of vegan firefighters, student groups that table dressed as zombies, and even hosted a peta2 Take Action Conference.
I guess it shouldn't be surprising then that in this oasis of veganism, nearly 300 locals showed up to chow down on LightLife Tofu Pups and vegan ice cream from a local company called NadaMoo!
This year's winner? Spencer "Tree" Lockwood, who proudly consumed 21 veggie dogs!

So to celebrate this tremendous accomplishment, and in recognition of the 4th of July, how about a contest??
Comment below with your favorite veggie dog toppings. The person with the most delicious-sounding toppings will earn a limited edition t-shirt from the contest.

P.S. - This contest ends July 18, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by July 25, 2008!
