For those of you who live near a Wawa, rejoice! It’s HoagieFest 2009! For those of you who don’t live near a Wawa, consider moving.

You know what’s awesome? Eating. What’s more awesome than that? Eating really delicious food. And what’s even more awesome than that? Eating an astronomical amount of really delicious food. Is it any wonder, then, that Takeru Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut have become household names?
