"Horsemen of the Esophagus" by Jason Fagone is a nonfiction book about the sport of competitive eating and the outsized American appetite. "Horsemen" follows three American "gurgitators" during a year on the pro eating circuit: Ohio housepainter David "Coondog" O'Karma, South Jersey truckdriver Bill "El Wingador" Simmons, and Manhattan day-trader Tim "Eater X" Janus. "Horseman" makes stops at 27 competitive eating contests around the world, including the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island and includes an interview with Nathan's champion at the time, Takeru Kobayashi.
