Holy Crap......68 Hotdogs in 10 minutes.....I'd hate to be his plumber.

Chestnut sets world record in hot dog bout

Chestnut logged his third consecutive win in Coney Island’s annual hot dog eating contest with a world-record 68 franks.

He defeated his archrival, six-time titleholder Takeru Kobayashi, in Saturday’s bout. Chestnut led throughout the contest.

Last year’s Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest initially ended in a tie, with Chestnut and Kobayashi both gobbling down 59 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Chestnut went on to win a dramatic five hot dog eat-off.

Chestnut is from San Jose, Calif.; Kobayashi is from Japan.
