Long live Takeru Kobayashi!

A week ago this past Saturday (June 2nd), San Jose native Joey Chestnut broke Takeru Kobayashi of Japan world’s rehttp://cleanplateclubnyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/hot%20dog.jpgcord by eating 59 1/2 hot dogs and buns at the Southwest Regional Hot Dog Eating Championship in Arizona.

As you may or may not know, Kobayashi’s old record of 53 3/4 was set last year at Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest, held at Coney Island in New York.

Kobayashi for the past several years has been the world record holder in competitive hot dog eating, and no doubt will try to regain his title this July 4th!

  1. I was wondering who was going to come along and (b)eat that record.

  2. Ah, there will always be someone who will beat a record.

    I think I saw Takeru before in a US show where humans and animals compete against each other in several feats of speed, strength, and even, yes, hotdog eating (forgot about the show’s title). I watched Takeru compete against a bear in eating the most number of hotdogs in a few minutes. The bear won though.
