Joey Chestnut wins with 66 dogs, Kobayashi with 63. Old world record was 59.5. Those are some crazy arse eaters.

The kid has beefed up his arms since the last time I've seen him on TV.

Not to take anything away from Chestnut's feat, but Kobayashi wasn't 100%. There are some amazing Youtube videos about Kobayashi.

Damn. I think FOX has been repeating some "Glutton Bowl" on TV here in Seoul for a few weeks now. I'm partly disgusted with the contestants as well as myself for watching it. I guess to each their own though.

I saw the funniest show on Fox last night with him in it. It's the show where they have humans competing in athletic competitions with animals. They had a herd of midgets pulling a jumbo jet vs a single elephant. And they had Kobayashi eating hot dogs with no buns vs a bear. Kobayashi was obviously intimidated by the bear and the bear beat him by a safe margin.

They said he had a wisdom tooth pulled a couple days before the event.. I know it was at least one, but maybe two of them.. I definately give the man props for hanging in there that sh*t hurts like hell.
