Kobayashi Defeated

Joey Chestnut sets record at Nathan's hot dog competition

This year Takeru Kobayashi had his six year winning streak at the Nathan’s hot dog eating competition snapped by American Joey Chestnut.  Chestnut ate an astonishing one hot dog every 10.9 seconds to set the world record of eating 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes.  Kobayashi held the Nathan’s record at 53 1/2 before today and Chestnut just last month ate 59 1/2 at contest in Phoenix.  Nice work Joey and I hope you have some Pepto because your tummy is going to be gurgling for a few days. ;-0
