Default World Record for eating hot dogs

A US man has broken the world hot dog eating record.

Joey Chestnut, 22, of San Jose, California, ate 59 hot dogs at a contest in Arizona.

He beat the record of Japanese title-holder, Takeru Kobayashi, who scoffed 53 last year.

Mr Chestnut, who weighs 15st, 10lb, came second last year, eating 52 hot dogs in the allotted 12 minutes.

"Two years ago I never thought I'd make it this far," he said.
"But in the last month of training all the numbers kept going up, and I knew I was going to be able to break the record today."

One official said: "He is unbelievable - he just keeps on going."

52 That is astonishing !
