Kobayashi eats his way to Wing Bowl record

For most of us eating buffalo wings is fun.  You stuff your face, you get a little dirty, and you wash it down with a beer.  It’s a good time.  But, to professional eater Takeru Kobayashi it’s all business.  He went into Philadelphia’s Wing Bowl XX with his bib and his game face on.  The other contestants became nothing but spectators as he smashed 337 chicken wings in 30 minutes, on his way to a world record.  For most people this feet is impossible, but for Kobayashi it was just another day at the office.

“The truth is,” he told the Philadelphia Inquirer after the contest, “that if you brought me another hundred wings right now, I think I could eat them.”

For the Record:  This was nothing for the 127 pounder. He probably drank a gallon of milk in 18 seconds, for fun, before he got there.  These other phonies like Bill “El Wingidor” Simons, they never had a chance, not in Koba’s world. Lets be honest, 337 chicken wings translates into like 20 dolphin fins where he comes from, and he eats that sh*t for breakfast.

[Additional Note: This is Emi Kobayashi, no relation, and I was graced with this interesting little  five minute number when searching for videos of Takeru's eating contests. Enjoy]
