Currently, the record is two minutes and thirty six seconds.Becky Soy,manager ofHomestead Ice Cream,was watching when that record was set.

"He just shoved it and swallowed. He didn't even chew. He is also a professional hot dog-eater, so he has some experience with professional eating, I guess," Soy said."Brain freeze, I don't know how he got around it. I guess he finished,before it set in."

The money raised at the ice cream eating challenge will go to the New Hope Dog Rescue.
