He said that Kobayashi requested a ban on dunking hot dogs in water and also hints that there will be undercard eating competitions before the main event.

The Guardian interviews Takeru Kobayashi

July 25, 2024 at 2:12 am by ojrifkin · More posts about:Joey Chestnut, Kobayashi (小林尊), Unfinished Beef

The Guardian has a long interview with Takeru Kobayashi about facing off against Joey Chestnut in a hot dog eating contest on Netflix on September 2. He believes the event will be his final competition.

Will September’s bout with Chestnut be Kobayashi’s last? He has to believe it will be. “Unless I think each match is my last one, I will not be able to perform at my peak level.” But he is enjoying the thrill of competing again. “When you do something for a really long time, you start to lose the magic that you felt initially,” he says. “This has really brought back the feeling of how much fun it is to push yourself.”
