Re: NEW YORK (CNN) -- Setting a world record, Joey Chestnut won Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest on Saturday, solidifying himself to many as the greatest gustatory athlete of all time.

He's got the competition down to a science: grabbing two hot dogs, forcing them into his mouth and taking a minimal number of chews as he gulps them down his throat. He then dips the buns in water and lets them slide right down.

Chestnut chows down 68 hot dogs; sets record - CNN.com

Does anyone here actually consider Chestnut an athlete?

Kobayashi learns how to use toilet paper as pillow in jail

Famed hot-dog eater Takeru ?The Tsunami? Kobayashi said yesterday he stormed the stage at Nathan?s annual Fourth of July contest in Coney Island for one reason: He didn?t want to be taken for a wiener. ?Everyone kept chanting ?Let him eat! Let him eat!? ? so I jumped on stage to prove to myself that I was still the champ, but I was arrested,? Kobayashi said yesterday through an interpreter after his morning arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court. Kobayashi was busted after running up to the stage during the event, in which he was not participating due to a contract dispute. He insisted he didn?t set out to ruin the contest, which was won by his arch rival, Joey Chestnut, who downed 54 dogs in 10 minutes. ?I went as a spectator to cheer on my buddies that I used to eat with,? Kobayashi said. He had some nice things to say about his cellmates. ?They were very kind,? he told The Post later. ?They showed me how to use a toilet paper roll as a pillow. It had been a long time since I slept so well.? ? NY Post
