I wonder how these people maintain their health eating tons of hot dogs and burgers like this?

CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee - Japanese eating champion Takeru Kobayashi won his third straight Krystal hamburger-eating contest, setting a new world record in the process. Kobayashi ate 97 of the small, square hamburgers in eight minutes on Saturday.

Joey Chestnut of San Jose, California, came in second place Saturday by eating 91 hamburgers, and Pat Bertoletti of Chicago ate 76.

Kobayashi, who is from Nagano, also holds the title of hot dog-eating champion, after eating 49 hot dogs in 12 minutes at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest at Coney Island, New York. Despite his capacity to eat, he weighs 172 pounds.

Did you see the tv show man vs. beast? They had a hotdog eating contest. Takeru vs. a grizzly bear. The bear won easily. P.S. I really do not know if he was Takeru.

He's gone nuts. He ate 53.75 Hotdogs in 10 mins about half a year ago. I also heard he ate 60 sausages here or there in another competition. How can he eat so many burgers in 8 mins? Were they small?

I wish I saw it, I watched the hotdogs and it was crazy as people tried to keep up. There was an American guy who did well, but I forget his name... He fell back right at the end.

But could he put a Rowntrees Fruit Pastel in his mouth without chewing it?

Chestnut! That is the guy trying to keep up with the hotdogs.

Is Sheboygan the small Asian woman? Not sure who Sheboygan is.

Yes, Krystal hamburgers are very small, if hamburgers they indeed can be rightly called. They're more like 2" x 2" x 3mm slivers o' gristle between two halfs of a dinner roll.

Krystal's breakfast biscuits are larger than their burgers.

You guys got White Castle out west? It's the same awful thing.

First.....I love White Castle. Bring those gut bombs on!!

Second, college football was a little slow so I watched a eating contest marathon and the highlight was Kobioshi winning the hamburger munchfest....I couldn't stop watching it.

Not really a "stick" anymore. He's been heavily into weightlifting for the past couple of years. He puts away an average of 6,000 calories a day, and the extra muscle is what helps him burn those calories.

I can't believe any human eats 6,000 calories a day.

I saw a 'shock doc' last night that featured 3 people, all over 300kgs and unable to get out of bed, let alone the house. one of them, i thought 'i've never seen tits that big on a woman' and a few minutes later i realised it was a man. These babies could put away 6000 calories for breakfast...
