No-Bayashi _ Hot Dog Champ Loses

By LARRY McSHANE 07.04.07, 2:53 PM ET

In a gut-busting showdown that combined drama, daring and indigestion, Joey Chestnut emerged Wednesday as the world's hot dog eating champion, knocking off six-time winner Takeru Kobayashi in a record-setting yet repulsive triumph.

Chestnut, the great red, white and blue hope in the annual Fourth of July competition, broke his own world record by inhaling 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes - a staggering one every 10.9 seconds before a screaming crowd in Coney Island.

"If I needed to eat another one right now, I could," the 23-year-old Californian said after receiving the mustard yellow belt emblematic of hot dog eating supremacy.

Kobayashi, the Japanese eating machine, recently had a wisdom tooth extracted and received chiropractic treatment due to a sore jaw. But the winner of every Nathan's hot dog competition from 2001 to 2006 showed no ill effects as he stayed with Chestnut frank-for-frank until the very end of the 12-minute competition.

I didn't look. Is this abut Carlos Slim supplanting Bill Gate's position as the richest man in the world?

"Carlos Slim" sounds like a drug dealer, doesn't it? It seems amazing to hear that a Mexican is the richest guy in the world. Most of us only see poor Mexicans (there are so many of them!).
