Sorry, but I got to give props to my local boy Joey!
The victory is made all the sweeter to my friend (an American) doing research in Japan who recently had his ear talked off by a local who insisted Kobayashi would win because he has that “Japanese discipline and training.” Uh huh.
USA! USA!

Poor Takeru.
He has jaw arthritis. It makes shoving the food down harder if you can’t open your mouth.
