Japanese champ eats 97 burgers in 8 minutes
Kobayashi, also hot-dog eating title holder, speed-gulps way to 3rd title

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.
That beat the previous record of 69 burgers, which he set at the first Krystal contest in 2004.
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.
Krystal, the oldest fast-food chain in the South, holds two-minute qualifying rounds in eight Southern cities in the months leading up to the championship.
The Krystal finals are governed by the International Federation of Competitive Eating. Founded by brothers Richard and George Shea in 1997, it regulates events for safety and keeps records on everything from meatballs to green chiles.

I liked eating contests better when they were fat guys who liked certain foods. Not genetic freaks who can stretch out their stomach.

I'm over eating competitions i used to do it many years ago. We would have pizza delivered to school, or tacos. I used to eat the kids under the table when it came to those competitions. I went to a girls birthday party and they convinced me to try and eat as much cake as i could. I got through 2 18x24 inch buttercream cakes before going into a sugar rage.
Anyways thats nasty i cant even eat that much anymore.
