Documented records for Kobayashi! No funny counting or manipulation such as is seen MLE contest. MLE has been accused of employing manipulation of winners recently at events now known as the Hooters wing sham, Nathans questionable qualifiers, or the recent Corn can’t accurately be counted contest. Please do a little DD before you consider hiring MLE, by hiring MLE you will be associating your product or organization with fraud and contest manipulation. MLE IS A FRAUD and is quickly being exposed as such. Thank fully and finally they are getting noticed for the fixing of contest and are increasingly having difficulty brushing the fixing and dishonesty of their contest under the rug. Taker Kobayashi is legit and no one is going to question these amazing records.
Notice you will not see videos of Kobayashi like you will find regarding Major League of Eatings top eaters on YouTube, example, taping bottles of alcoholic beverages to hands (so proud should MLE use it in a promo), eating clay or glue, kitchen lonely solo desperate for attention vids (many and sad), and swearing or vulgarity of any kind what so ever. Takeru is classy human, MLE on the other hand has several apparent alcoholics (Joey, CLC, Deep Drunk Dish, they all look the part sickly in appearance) desperate for attention who happen to be able to eat well between their drunkenness.
And yes in fact I’m a expert and possess inside hands on knowledge of what I speak so don’t think about calling me out. What I know can be toxic. These are my opinions based on facts gathered in person, chats with Boone, dinners with OJ, and lastly from BB’s web site. 🙂
God Bless,

In as much what you say may be (and in my opinion is ) true, the slimy underbelly of what the public thinks is a league does not matter. It’s a sideshow and the public dosen’t care, and the sponsors only care if it makes sales. Look at wrestling we know it’s fixed, the players on steroids, wrestlers dying ,but it’s still popular. As to the as to the drunks these are just boys being boys the party has been going on for years.
