Today was the famous International Hot Dog Eating Competition in the US. Me and some friends have been talking about this competition for a few days now and I had a feeling Kobayashi was going to lose because he had an injury (jaw problem). I turned out to be right because he lost to Joey Chestnut who is now the world champion. Kobayashi who was the champion for the past 6 years straight managed to eat 63 hot dogs in 12 minutes compared to Joey who ate 66. [Link]
Kobayashi is still the hamburger eating champion (97 hamburgers in 8 minutes). [Link]

Takeru “The Tsunami” Kobayashi is actually pretty fit. He exercises regularly and his body fat is under 10%.
Do they eat sandwiches in the championship or just the meat? [hotdog/burger]
as you can see in the picture, its the full hot dog, bread and meat.
here is a photo essay from the Times about Kobayashi:
