    It's about to start on ESPN. Once again, Takeru Kobayashi is the favorite, but Joey "Jaws" Chestnut could take him down. Jaws ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes in a May qualifiying event.

    Chow down!

    No way he beats Kobayashi. Rumor has it that hes coming into this event in the best shape of his life:

    lol what are you talking about THIS STUFFS GREAT!

    kobayashi takes the victory with 54 hotdogs, beating the world record of 53.5 in 10 minutes.

    chestnut was very close with 52.

    That was awesome...Chestnut looked like he had Parkinson's Disease around the eight or nine minute mark. I thought he was going to yak and DQ himself.

    This is the first time Kobayashi has really been tested, and he came through in the clutch. It's official, Kobayashi isn't the Michael Jordan of competitive eating, Michael Jordan is the Kobayashi of basketball...

    he probably takes some special pill before the competition that makes him completely void his bowels and it also completely stops production of his stomach acid for a little while to maximize his stomach volume or something
