After one year of waiting, today was the day: The yearly hotdog champion of Denmark was crowned and if you’re reading this, you probably already know I’m the Hotdogjudge and wasn’t there for fun…

Despite last year being quite an awesome experience, I think the overall level of the hotdogs this year was better! And in this video (Danish only, sorry) you can see all the dogs as well as the winner (and loser).

Here’s pictures of the 8 contestants.

#1: Daniel Kruse

#2: Pernille Rasmussen

#3: Gustav Vilholm 

#4: Wassim Hallal

#5: Bernard Chesneau - “Hot Camel”

#6: Thomas Pasfall - “White Dog Fiona”

#7: Paul Cunningham - “The King’s Last Hotdog”

#8: Andreas Tange - “Seadog”

If you understand Danish, there’s also a clip here from the local news, featuring yours truly.
