I wouldn't want to go up against him. That boy is a legend in competitive eating. I'll be back to edit with a list of his wins...
Forget it. Too many. My Google blew up. Mainly Nathan's, Krystal's, and the Glutton Bowl, with a lot of side contests like chinese dumplings, etc. |

IIRC he got beaten 2 years ago and didn't compete last year for whatever reason(or maybe this was 3-4 year s ago.)So yes, he can, and has been beaten, even if he has regained the title.
Free hotdogs for a year as a prize? After eating that many in a minute I wouldn't want to see hotdogs for a year.Fun to watch though. |

I would hit it

Is there skill at this level or is it mainly genetics and attitude? I can't imagine physically fitting that much food into my body. |

Ah, the belt of fat theory of competitive eating.
I never realized how ripped that guy is. Got some massive arms for a Japanese dude. |

How is it possible to fit that much food into a human stomach in such a short amount of time?
|
|
holy shit, look at his arms...steroids anyone? |
|
I love hotdogs.
I don't give a shit if they are lips and buttholes, I eat them like they are never going to be made again. |

Quoted: Is there skill at this level or is it mainly genetics and attitude? I can't imagine physically fitting that much food into my body. Yeah, supposedly he flexes his stomach to help compress the food. Though I'm betting his biggest help is simply eating lots of food quickly to stretch his stomach during training. |

He's the Champ, and world record holder. Takeru is the #1 contender. Takeru's little PR stunt after he threw a hissy fit because he couldn't compete last year was a farce. He never ate 69 hot dogs, CNBC got the video, he ate 65 hot dogs. |

Quoted: He's the Champ, and world record holder. Takeru is the #1 contender. Tekura is not a contender. Tekeru set the bar. 6 straight wins, and when he jumped on the seen he bested the previous year by 2x. He was the best of his era. He is is in the twilight of his career. Chestnut is now looking at 6 straight wins, and there appears to be no contenders in sight. |

OK, I laughed |

The trick of expanding the stomach is to eat a LOT of lettuce and cabbage to get it used to being stretched out. On "game day," you eat a little something all day, so your stomach doesn't shrink.
This guy also came up with dipping the hotdog buns in water, breaking the dog in half, and stuffing both halves in at once. That, and folding pizza cheese side out so it went down easier, again after dunking in water. And yes, being in good shape helps. I plan on using his methods to beat that 72oz. steak in Amarillo, should I ever make it there. |

Sonya is freaking tiny. Saw her at a mall hot dog eating competition. There was no serious competition for her, just some locals. I walked past her on the way out talking to a guy, pissed that she only ate something like 40.
Quoted:
If you are a fat ass, I guess your stomach cannot accept a lot of food, all the fat will block the expansion of your gut...but if you are skinny then you can expand your stomach, just a guess on my part. Sonya Thomas ate an 11 pound cheesecake, 10% of her bodyweight http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Sonya_Thomas.jpg |

I thought this thread was about the impossible test (Kobayashi Maru) James T. Kirk defeated by cheating, until I saw "hot dogs".

Arguably one of the worst things about 4th of July I can think of.Who gives a shit about some dude can stick 69 weiners in his mouth in 10 minutes. Really we now look up to competitve eaters.WTF!

Though I'm betting his biggest help is simply eating lots of food quickly to stretch his stomach during training. There is a lot of training and individual technique that goes into this. They wolf down things like lettuce and grapes to practice stomach expansion. One guy said he practices by chugging 2 gallon jugs of water at a time. That's around 16lbs of liquid. Jaw fatigue is another serious problem. They do exercises to condition the muscles. |

I saw on the news a few years back, where Nathan's hot dogs changed the rules, specifically to exclude this guy. He protested, and was removed from the area. I didnt keep up with the story, so don't know if he got back in the competition?
|

After 3 it feels like I'm going to shit my pants. I can't eat hot dogs.

Dangerous, and NOT recommended. You can perforate the stomach lining due to that much liquid being in the stomach at once, and are at serious risk of water intoxication, which can result in brain damage and/or death. |

I can eat an entire pot of spaghetti in one sitting.
Entire. Fucking. Pot. My stomach is the size of a goddamn medicine ball. No foolsies. |

One man did by reprograming the computers the night before. |
