I remember you talked about this last year. What were the odds on this affair without Kobayashi. Competitive eating is just not the same without him

This article is way too long but a few good ones in here.

The clock starts; what ensues is horrifying. The people who were actually eating the wings had no chance in the contest. The guys who came out on top did so by dipping and smearing, pulling meat off the bones with their teeth and shoving it down their throats like youd put trash in a disposal. The one whos winning is standing up and wearing headphones, his shirt covered in sauce. Its clear that hes the only one taking this seriously.

Kobi doesnt eat like these people, says Maggie James, Kobayashis manager, translator, and girlfriend. When he does it, its almost like art.

In 2010, following three consecutive years of losing at Coney Island to new sensation Joey Chestnut, Kobayashi refused to sign a contract with MLE, saying it limited his ability to make money because he couldnt compete in other events or negotiate his own endorsements. Kobayashi rushed the stage after Chestnut won, wearing a Free Kobi T-shirt, and spent the night in jail.

With that, Kobayashi became persona non grata to the MLE, but he soldiered on independently of the league, making a living through paid appearances and setting Guinness World Records, out of official competition.
MLE removed his portrait from their Wall of Fame. The New York Daily News called him a whiny weiner lover when he failed to set a new world pizza-eating record and reportedly blamed the pizza. In

The younger you are, the more your body can tolerate this stuff, says Stonie, a rising star in the competitive eating world. (Currently No. 4, to be exact.) Stonie, who recently set a world record by eating an entire 5.5-pound birthday cake in just under nine minutes, is at Mission College in San Jose, where hes studyingnutrition.

A lot of people think a nutritionist would be against what competitive eaters do, but it helps to understand how the body works. Im training like any other athlete would train for a sport. Its just repetition, increasing stomach capacity. Im in the best shape of my life. No one has really done studies on competitive eating, no one knows what works, so most of training is either word of mouth which youre getting from your competitors, so you have to take with a grain of salt or just finding out what works for you. Theres no resources because MLE doesnt want anyone to have anything to do with home training.

Of course, Kobayashi is ready to do it the hard way. I am still the best competitive eater in the world, he says. My record for hot dogs is incredible and improving. I will still be eating five to ten years from now when the rest of them have to physically retire. Theyll be like, Oh, hes still eating? How can he do that?
