Japanese master eater Kobayashi watched his reign of 5 straight Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Championships end as Californian Joey Chestnut took down not only his own record, but the Japanese Stomach to emerge as the 2007 winner, as well as the owner of the world record for most hot dogs eaten in 12 minutes.
"If I needed to eat another one right now, I could," Chestnut boasted, probably before falling into a fit of pain caused by the estimated 900 million calories he inhaled.
Kobayashi has been the reigning champion since 2001, when he shocked the world with his powers to suck down meat sticks. He has lately been suffering from an arthritic jaw (go figure - ed.) and wisdom tooth surgery, but apparently showed no ill signs during the contest, despite people wanting to make a controversy out of this.
But all we have to say is GO U.S.A.! We're bigger pigs than the rest of the world!
