i really dont have a favorite i just hope it is more competitive than it has been in years past… which i think x and deep dish will step it up this year and bring the average up, nothing against any eater at the table just those guys are freaks and everyone knows it…. (i mean that in a good way) good luck to everyone and see you next year at coney…

There’s been a 70 rumor coming from my training camp too, and let me just say, I hope to surpass that number ..on my I.Q. test!

I think kobyashi should get in automatically. It isn’t the olympics. He is the biggest name in eating in the world.

I asked Booker and Hardy because they are legends and are from our area. I don’t know what TK was talking about in his blog regarding LI. Maybe there is a qualifier there, I don’t know. There are quite a few promos, he could be talking about another. We only talked to Booker and Hardy.

We did it for a news story, so we didn’t advertise for a crowd. There were people from word of mouth and people that happened to be there – that place gets pretty busy. I thought it would just be us, but there were quite a few onlookers.

I am putting the video up a little later. I am going to convert, upload, and link right now. Thanks for linking.

The event looked like fun, too bad no one seemed to attend it, except folks who accidentally dropped by for lunch. There must have been some fantastic promotion, shouts out to the Nathan’s marketing department – not!

Thanks for your opinion, Lily. I’ll be sure to forward it straight to the top.

Although Koby did bring a lot of light into competitive eating, he SHOULD NOT get a bye into Nathan’s. He should qualify just like everyone else in a Nathan’s qualifier with the exception of Joey (being the defending champ and the only one who should get a bye).

Joey vs Kobe is still better than watching Kobe’s one man show in past years. It is a shame that Hal Shimmel and Stu Birdy cannot be a part of this

No prizes for Nathans this year? It appears that other reports are just a rehash of last years one time only prize structure.

My prediction
Joey then Kobay then a whole lot of Jed Donohues tie for third with 1 hot dog.
