Breakfast of Champions
'Tonight's special will be hotdogs. Lots of them.' That was the sentiment of Nathan's annual hotdog eating competition, which kicked off this year's competitive eating season. Takeru 'The Tsunami' Kobayashi is the undisputed champion of the event and this year he delighted the 5000-strong crowd by devouring 53.5 hotdogs in 12 minutes.
A big fuss was made about this year's event, but then everything about competitive eating is big, except the contestants. In the red-sauce corner, Kobayashi weighed in at just 132lbs, though unsurprisingly his weight fluctuates. He defeats larger opponents with his 'Solomon technique' - breaking the hotdogs in half to minimise chewing.
