  • Kobayashi’s Back, Mofos

    kobayashi

    Kobayashi gave a giant middle finger to Joey Chestnut, in the form of slider consumption.  In eight minutes Takeru was able to take down 93 sliders in the Krystal Square-Off this weekend.   Chestnut only finished with 81.  Holy shit.

    “We knew today’s Krystal Square Off championship was going to be a battle for the ages with Kobayashi hoping to reclaim his glory and Chestnut defending his two-year reign as champ, and both eaters did not disappoint,” said Brad Wahl, vice president of marketing, The Krystal Company. “Kobayashi’s commanding win over Chestnut proved once again why he is the sport’s biggest star.”

    It’s not like this was a race to the finish.  Kobayashi just bitch slapped Chestnut.  It’s like he insulted his entire family.  This will make my father happy, who swears Chestnut has been cheating somehow.

  • Joey Chestnut Kills 64 Hotdogs in 10 minutes

    So apparently Joey Chestnut was at Hooters last night practicing his hot dog eating skillzzz, and managed to put down 64 in 10 minutes.  Wait, isn’t the record 66?  This man is my hero.

    edit: Chestnut’s record of 66 was done in 12 minutes(thanks Craig).  The new time limit is 10.   Holy 8 pound 4 ounce baby jesus.



  • Belly Buster Challenge

    Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Bear Silber from Pizza Party in Santa Clara, CA.  Bear has the Belly Buster Challenge going on, where if you can eat his 20-inch pizza topped with pepperoni, pepperoni Bagel Bites, pepperoni Pizza Rolls & pepperoni Hot Pockets in under 12 minutes and 30 seconds you can win $100.  The $100 sounds great, but just being able to eat that pizza sounds like it would be worth the attempt.  If you’re in the Santa Clara area or plan to be in the future, make sure you check out Pizza Party.  I’m dying for that Tandori Chicken Pizza.  The website and blog are for sure worth checking out, as well.  Click on his pizza cams to watch the staff at Pizza Party making pizzas in real time.
