He won the coney island, Nathan's hot dog contest AGAIN!

I saw something on discovery channel, about the food eating tournaments and it explained why they thought the japanese are the best at these sorta things.

It was explained that since their body fat was lower, their stomachs were allowed to expand further. The americans with the high body fat have fat as their rubber band preventing further expansion of the stomach.

I saw that on the Discovery Channel & the Food channel. It was a fascinating show. But geeeeeez, 50 & 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes. That is insane!

they should have a hotdog-off with takeru versus calista flockhart. her stomach has a lot more to stretch. even if he starts to surpass her, calista can show off her scrawny emaciated back and he would vomit and thereby disqualifying him.

hmm...
i've heard that the secret to his success was the style the he used. he eats the hot dogs separate from the bread. he also breaks the dog in half so he can fit it into his mouth.
