If Americans are anything, they are competitive. Joey Chestnut again rules the eating world with the Krystal Hamburger eating championship. Noticeably absent is the great Kobayashi who downed 98 last year.
Here are the official results, no reversals of fortune that I noticed.
The official results are as follows:
Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, San Jose, CA - 103
“Humble Bob” Shoudt - Philadelphia, Pa. - 95
Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti, Chicago, Ill. - 94
