Kobayashi won again, setting a new record with 53 3/4. Chestnut was leading most of the way, and I think ended up with 52.

I'm sure they both went backstage and barfed their guts out. :tongue2:

They said that Chestnut trained for this by eating 40 hot dogs in one sitting twice a week. Oddly enough, soon after 40 hot dogs is where Kobayashi retook the lead.

How long would it take you to eat 53 3/4 hot dogs? I bet I could in a day.

Japanese champ eats 97 burgers in 8 min.

24 minutes ago


CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee - Japanese eating champion Takeru Kobayashi won his third straight Krystal hamburger-eating contest, setting a new world record in the process. Kobayashi ate 97 of the small, square hamburgers in eight minutes on Saturday.
That beat the previous record of 69 burgers, which he set at the first Krystal contest in 2004.
Joey Chestnut of San Jose, California, came in second place Saturday by eating 91 hamburgers, and Pat Bertoletti of Chicago ate 76.
Kobayashi, who is from Nagano, also holds the title of hot dog-eating champion, after eating 49 hot dogs in 12 minutes at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest at Coney Island, New York. Despite his capacity to eat, he weighs 172 pounds.
Krystal, the oldest fast-food chain in the South, holds two-minute qualifying rounds in eight Southern cities in the months leading up to the championship.
The Krystal finals are governed by the International Federation of Competitive Eating. Founded by brothers Richard and George Shea in 1997, it regulates events for safety and keeps records on everything from meatballs to green chiles.

I saw that on TV. Good god thats alot of hamburgers.

Oh yea, after the contest they asked him if he could eat more, and he said he was STILL hungry.

They said last year when he ate 69 hamburgers that he forgot to dip the hamburgers in the water.

Hot dog eating champ visits Rays?
k070410au.jpg


World hot-dog eating champ Takeru Kobayashi attended the Devil Rays workout, then got to meet and film some video spots with 3B Akinori Iwamura. Kobayashi said he was excited and honored to meet Iwamura, a longtime star in their native Japan, and took a few swings in the batting cage, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
So who would be better at the other's specialty?
"I'd like to play baseball, but just for fun," Kobayashi said through his interpreter. "I think Aki could eat a lot. I'd like to challenge him."
But Iwamura, though surprised at how small the 5-7, 132-pound Kobayashi is, said it would be no contest.
"Even if you had no time limit, 54 hot dogs would be impossible. Ten at the most," he said through his interpreter. "It would probably be easier for him to become a baseball player than for me to eat that much."
