    It’s not enough that Conti has already qualified for Nathans they still give him more publicity on top of it. Chestnut and Conti basically own the sport . One in eating the other in media

    Wouldn’t Kobey be better than Joey? When healthy, they’re about the same talent wise, but Kobey is more charisma and a greater allure about him, at least as far as the media is concerned.

    Maybe we should just end this little charade and Rhonda should come clean. Either she is crazy legs mom , sonya, sonya’s BF hank or maybe OJ rifkin using an alias upon an alias to keep this site interesting

    Fanatic I agree that Koby is the elitest of the elite in CE, and his reputation precedes him–no knock against Joey, he’s a great one too, but he is no 6-time world champ. Koby’s absence from CE for the last 10 months (I don’t count that Spike thing either.) has somewhat watered down image … but only temporarily. Remember, it’s what have you done lately.

    I disagree that he and Joey are about the same talent-wise. Joey has only one win against five losses in contests that Koby has been in. Honestly, I don’t believe that whole jaw thing with Koby either. Koby has been so used to totally dominating each and every contest that he needs to learn to handle the pressure in close contests.

    Neither Joey, Pat, or anyone in this world have the speed and talent of a Takeru Kobayashi when he is competing to win. I don’t care if it’s wings, salad, noodles, rice, brats, etc (you neme it).

    Remember the little show on Spike when Koby was drubbed in wings last year and had to stop eating another food because of his jaw. That wasn’t Kobayashi. Hell, I could have eaten the wings faster than he did that day. That was part of a script. to help sell the jaw issue.

    You want me to “come clean” and your name is “Cut It?” I’m the clean one. You need to grab the Irish Spring!
