Kobayashi's Hot Dog Eating Record Broken


It's a bittersweet day here at ICON. As a big fan of professional eater, Takeru Kobayashi, it's bitter because his record has been broken. A California man broke the world record for hot dog eating at a contest Saturday, eating more than 59 franks in 12 minutes. But it's also sweet because now Kobayashi has some competition. I'm looking forward to seeing the man battle back and take the record back at the Nathan's competition in July.
