Celebrate National Hot Dog Day with Matt D’Arcy and Keith Stedronsky, founders of Dogs Out, who appeared on ‘Fox & Friends First’ to share their excitement. They discussed their hot dog eating competition college tour, starting in the Northeast, and their journey building their Jersey Shore business over five years. A new website for Dogs Out was also announced.

Americans consume about 20 billion hot dogs annually, averaging 70 per person, according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC).
