I would NOT want Chestnut near an open fire after this:
Chestnut eats over 59 hot dogs in 12 minutes to beat Kobayashi's markhttp://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2891564
PHOENIX -- A California man smashed the world record for hot dog eating at a contest Saturday, gobbling up more than 59 franks in 12 minutes.
Joe Chestnut, 22, of San Jose, shattered the record held by Takeru Kobayashi of Japan by downing 59½ "HBDs" -- hot dogs and buns -- during the Southwest Regional Hot Dog Eating Championship at the Arizona Mills Mall in suburban Tempe.
