Tragedy: Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi Loses Hot Dog Eating Contest to Guy with No Nickname
This is so sad. Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi, six-time winner of Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, has been toppled by a guy who doesn't even have a decent nickname. Joey Chestnut, from California or something, pulled ahead in the final moments of the 12-minute competition when Kobayashi suddenly felt like he was going to throw up and lost some valueable time trying not to. (We've been there.)
Kobayashi's trajectory from underdog (get it?) to top dog (get it?) to a still respectable second...dog (....get it??) should be an inspiration to us all. And we didn't realize that the secret to rock-hard abs is ingestion of obsene amounts of red tubular meat. We're redoubling our efforts!
