Win a year of free Dapper Dogs this Friday

To mark the anniversary of their first year in business, Seth Russell (left) and Harry Stormes of NoLibs' Dapper Dog cart are hosting a high-stakes dog-eating contest this Friday, May 6, in the patio area of the former Arbol Café and Second and Poplar. (The have been calling this space, now known as Garden Variety, home since the city cracked down on Second Street vendors; it'll soon host Nikki Hill and Claire Wadsworth's La Copine, too.)
For the contest, competitors must pay $5 to register by 9:30 p.m.; around 10, after the band Ryat wraps up, they'll set up what Stormes calls a "pretty traditional, Nathan's-style contest" — potato buns, boiled franks, ketchup, mustard. The first contestant to wreck 10 hot dogs, or the contestant with the most food consumed at the end of 5 minutes (like Nathan's, you can drink/dip stuff into water), earns one free hot dog a day for an entire calendar year. (The runner-up will win free dogs for a month.)
