People often line the street to queue for Barbakan's delicious sausages. A sizeable crowd gathered at the Chorlton deli this Bank Holiday Monday to watch nine men try and eat a gargantuan 24-inch hot dog in the quickest time possible.
1980s rock classics such as 'Eye of the Tiger' and 'Danger Zone' blasted from a portable speaker on the table as competitors battled it out to take home the 'Man v Sausage' crown and raise £50 for a charity of their choice. Dozens of people cheered their family and friends on, with some even waving signs of support.
Barbakan owner Frankie Dyer said that the competition has been an annual staple at the deli for the past six years. "My dad owned Barbakan for about 35 years until I bought it off him when he retired two years ago," she told the Manchester Evening News.
