ESPN.com - GEN - Chow down: American hot dog eating record set
I’ve heard it argued that Nathan’s hot dog eating champion, Takeru Kobayashi, is the most dominant “athlete” relative to his competition in any “sport.” If you have the stomach to watch this year’s contest, you might catch a glimpse of Joey Chestnut, who recently ate 50 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes, as he tries to bring the title back to the U.S. Pepto Bismal anyone?
