For the past several years Japan's Takeru Kobayashi has been more or less a one-man show in the world of competitive hot dog eating. Kobayashi, a 28 year-old from Nagano, Japan, has won the past five annual Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contests on July 4.
ESPN is providing live telecast coverage of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest from Coney Island, N.Y., at noon Tuesday.
To some, it wouldn't be a proper Fourth of July if they didn't put the hot dogs and burgers on the grill, pass the potato salad and salute the flag. In this context, this man-eat-dog competition, though controversial seems a heck of a fun event.
Kobayashi's record, scarfing down 50½ hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes.
