Episode 53: Kobayashi

Competitive eating is one of the most bizarre and challenging sports in the world. The sheer amount of food consumed professional competitive eaters is mind boggling, but one man made it look like an afternoon snack. Takeru Kobayashi is the Michael Jordan of competitive eating and in the early 2000’s he captured the imagination of millions of people around the world. Unfortunately, as with many  professional athletes, he fell victim to an unfair contract that ultimately led to his retirement from Major League Eating. This is a real HOT DOG of an episode!
