    Remember this. The cheesesteak proabaly came from Genos or Patsys fresh off the grill and the bread was nice and soft which made everything easy to go down

    LOL at that video. I’m pretty sure I could beat 48 seconds, so it’s a laugher that anyone would dream Kobayashi couldn’t demolish that time.

    Clown shoes!!! Wth? An avg size cheesesteak? I’ll say yes his time is impressive, but an avg size cheesesteak? This is Kobi we’re talking about! He swallows hot dogs! You should have done the Tony Luke’s 5lb. Man vs Food did it, Squibb did it… I’m disappointed.

    Any body can beat that time. Are u kiddin me w this? U stopped the time and then he cleared his mouth. I agree it was prob fresh, but where is the challenge? Comp eatin is about bigger, better, faster. This is a lame stunt. Kobi will kill it in 10! Put him up against The Squibbs cheesesteak time! That videos for real!! Hell I could do a better job and I dont hold any big records.

    Just look at Wingador’s attempt with the IFOCE years ago. He sucked at everything else he did. 15 Nathans dogs, 20 Krystal burgers. Anybody in the IFOCE top 25 could have ate that cheesesteak faster than 48 seconds. What a joke and he thinks Kobayashi will have a problem with that

    how would kobayashi get the exact same sandwich anyway? not all cheesesteaks are created equal.

    48+ seconds give or take another 20 seconds of chipmunking. Kobayashi could do that, i might be able to do that.

    giving wingadore the benefit of the doubt, 48 seconds is a noble performance, especially in a food outside of his specialty. but could probably be duplicated by many. now 3 or 4 cheesesteaks and we start separating some of the field with some meaningful time differentials. in my humble opinion this particular sample doesn’t mean a whole lot. more food, more time equals more meaningful results. Any nobody might be able to do this, but i doubt they could duplicate a good performance of 4 cheesesteaks.

    seems like good fodder calling out koby etc. beyond that means little.

    It is an excellent ploy to ask the question. Surely everyone except MLE would like to see Koby participate in WingBowl or any competition associated with it. Still the most recognized competitive eater internationally, Takeru Kobayashi.

    That was a cheesesteak from houlihans! That’s not a Philly cheesesteak challenge! I’m so bored of these people already I could puke! I googled Philly cheesesteak videos and I got 2- Man vs Food and Jon Super Squibb. If the point is to challenge Kobi somebody dropped the ball big time. If your just trying to embarass Simmons- you succeeded! Lame. Let me know when you have an update worth reading/seeing.
