Grantland.com has an article about Thuzio, the company that books Takeru Kobayashi's personal appearances. (The only reference to Kobayashi in the article is the appearance of competitive eating on a pie chart displaying the sports of Thuzio's athletes.)

    @ Anonymous 12:07PM Feb 9 When jealousy runs dry on your envy of Kobayashi, you will immediately stop offering us these oh so tired posts. Get over him. I heard there is a sale of “New Lives”, hurry up, GET ONE!

    “The only reference to Kobayashi in the article is the appearance of competitive eating on a pie chart displaying the sports of Thuzio’s athletes” Is that statement a dig of some sort? Geez way to be objective.
    I guess by the wording the moderator apparently felt the need to put a negative spin on what I think any other eater would welcome and be proud of…. fame and personality enough to get paid for a appearance.
    Takeru is a amazingly unique man, he is quite interesting and genuinely as nice and positive person you may ever have the opportunity to meet.
