Joey vs. Kobayashi in P’Zones May 30

(from RJ Frasca) On the Major League Eating Facebook page:

World hot dog-eating champion Joey Chestnut and arch-rival Takeru Kobayashi will face off on Saturday, May 30, 2009, in one of the greatest battle of their careers: The Pizza Hut P’Zone Chow-lenge. The five-minute event featuring the monster 12″-inch, one-pound P’Zones will take place at Sony Studios in Los Angeles, and portions of the contest will be aired on SpikeTV’s Guys Choice Awards in June.

Kobayashi was to participate in a P’Zone exhibition in 2007 but declined due to “jawthritis”. Joey Chestnut took his place (video)
