To celebrate Ekka’s 150th anniversary, this year we’re doing something a little different…

It’s Webby vs THE WORLD!

In this special event, everyone will be up against Australia’s #1 eater, vying for the title of the Ekka Dagwood Dog Eating Champion. Australia’s #1 ranked eater JWebby Can Eat will be up against Australia’s #2 ranked eater Sven “2 Krayzee” Pelman, and Australia’s #3 ranked eater Chad “Froman” Jones, as well as 12 other contestants mixing Amateurs and Pros all up against the ultimate Dagwood Dog champion.

And to make things even more interesting, we’re lifting the 20 Dagwood Dog limit, and changing the time to just 5 minutes!

Webby set the record in 2023, eating 20 Dagwood Dogs in 4 minutes 15 seconds. Will he, or another eater beat the 20 in 5 minutes? You’ll have to come along to find out!
