We treat competitive eating as a punchline and never contemplate what a truly terrible idea it is. Sounds like the bill is coming due.

10k hot dogs. Respect.

Twenty years of competitive eating sounds like a 50-year NFL career in terms of what it must do to one's body.

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?

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.

To be precise, he won the title by eating exactly one cow brain.
