By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on April 14, 2026

Among other fun events, the May 30 ABB Summer Kickoff and Food Truck Festival will again feature the Big Dog Eating Contest, sponsored by Dave’s Famous T&L Hot Dogs.
 
“We are very excited for this year's edition of the contest,” said Troy Rutherford of Dave’s Famous T&L Hot Dogs. “We've had a lot of positive feedback from community members who enjoyed watching. We have high hopes for this year and are excited to reward our champion with $500 from Dave's Famous T&L Hot Dogs and the ABB.”
 
Up to 10 contestants will be chosen to compete. Contestants will compete against each other in a timed event. The object of the competition is to eat as many Dave’s Famous T&L Hot Dogs (meat and buns), with any condiments, within the allotted time of 10 minutes.
 
An entry form can be found HERE. Complete rules for the contest can be read HERE. Entry forms can be turned in at any Dave's Famous T&L Hot Dog locations or submitted via email tandlhotdogs@aol.com. 
 
The Associated Businesses of Bridgeport Summer Kickoff will run 5-8 p.m. along Main Street on Saturday, May 30. Other attractions will include a car cruise-in, a giant sandbox, inflatables, and summer activities. Live entertainment and several food and beverage trucks will be stationed throughout the downtown area.
 
Look for more details coming soon about the 2026 Summer Kickoff and Food Truck Festival.
