10k hot dogs. Respect.

 

Kobayashi Maru.

 

Kobayashi does not just eat hot dogs. He's held world records over his career with different foods, ranging from Buffalo wings, lobster rolls and cow brains to hamburgers, tacos and pizza. The list goes on.

How does one decide to eat cow brains in addition to those other staples that aren't, you know, the brains of cows?

 

Did he use knives and forks?

 

Not with coneys. You dunk them in water and practically swallow them whole.

 

This guy's Youtube channel is basically him beating restaurant challenges for free meals, cash, trophies, whatever. Things like humongous pizzas, 64 ounce steak and a couple of baked potatoes, stuff like that. This is just the most recent one up. Two gigantic breakfast burritos. His anaconda capacity is amazing. Those things have a lot of hash brown potatoes in them.

Spoiler. He does it, then eats dessert. Not kidding.

 

RAF Mildenhall used to be a huge USAF base in Britain. Still might be, it's been a minute.
