If taking part in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is an extreme sport, preparing all those dogs in the Nathan’s Famous kitchen is a carefully-choreographed dance.

At least that’s how George Shea sees it.

Shea, the co-founder of Major League Eating and one of the minds behind the competition, took Brooklyn Paper on a tour of the original Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs location at the corner of Surf and Stillwell avenues less than a week before thousands of people would descend on the intersection for the July 4 event.
