A press release announces that the hot dogs eaten in Takeru Kobayashi's July 4 contest at 230 Fifth in Manhattan will lack buns. The contest is incorrectly billed as the first bunless hot dog eating competition; a bunless hot dog eating contest won by Lynda Kuerth was held in Philadelphia in 1977.

    Almost as big of joke as ordering the cheapest sandwhich from a deli and creating a fake challenge.

    Cheapest sandwich? When was the last time a cheap fuck like you spent 28 bucks on a sandwich unless you knew it was free if you completed in a set time? or better yet when was the last time you spent 28 bucks on anything ?

    Why do you blame every negative comment on Seiken? Get a life loser

    I’m guessing they didn’t want to look stupid posting his bun+hot dog total and having it be less than Chestnut, thus no buns so you can’t easily compare the numbers.

    funny how two retired eaters each with two substantial incomes between them and their wives were prob too cheap to take care of everyones tab when they ate at a restaurant prior to seeing the movie hungry in NYC. I guess the same could be said for the rest of the big sports that sat with them also

    I like George Shea line in the movie Hungry “Look Kobayashi doesn’t want to be here or else he be at the table competing against Joey”
