May 24 was a great day to kick off the summer for Tyber Medical when it hosted its second annual hot dog eating contest. Nine employees were contestants trying to win the title.
Joe Frasca came out as the winner by eating 9 1/2 hot dogs. There were no losers because everyone received an amazon gift card depending on how many hot dogs they ate.
Out of 270 hots dogs that were made, only 14 were left over.
Why a hot dog erating contest?
“We love a bit of silly fun at Tyber Medical and this was so fun the first year we decided to make it annual,” said Toby Borcoman, chair of culture at Tyber. “Our company culture is work hard, play hard mindset while enjoying the daily milestones as a company.”
Tyber Medical is a Bethlehem Commerce Way-based orthopedic device manufacturer.
Tyber Medical’s second location based in Bonita Springs, Fla., also had its hot dog contest the same day.

Dominic Bellucci – 6
Ian Mace – 5 ½
