  • There will be no dunking or soaking the bun or any other portion of the food in water or any other substance that may change its texture.
  • There will be no mashing or molestation of the hot dog or bun during the competition.

Picnic-style rules mean that the food is eaten the way that it is traditionally eaten. For more information about picnic-style rules, click here.
