    Did he take Xanax to eat that much? Seriously?

    Jaws is awesome but he isn’t beating Kobi. And no, Kobi didn’t cheat to eat 130 tacos, he just trained hard.

    Those two are the best and nearly equal in talent. Given 10 comtests of varying foods and time limits, I believe Kobi would win at least seven of them. He’d win in HDBs too, if participants were actually required to EAT, versus DRINK, them —- just as he did in waterless Krystals in 2009.

    Kobi remains THE LEGEND and the competitive eater that most people recognize / relate to.

    If a legitimate “pictionary,” were to be created, it would be The Tsunami’s image that would be beside the entry, “competitive eating.”

    I wish there were a ranking system to compare all eaters from all organizations based on eating prowess, not wins/losses (which is too subjectable to whom the eater eats–or doesn’t eat–against and how often he or she competes). Chess, for example, has various numerical systems, in general ranging from 0-2800 or higher. In pocket billiards, you get a letter grade, from D- to A+++.

    Sorry but Kobayashi can’t hang with Joey or Stonie.

    Stonie will eventually surpass Jaws, he’s not there just yet but very soon. Neither Stonie or Jaws are better eaters than Takeru Kobayashi. Stonie is about the same as Pat Bertoletti. And no, Kobayashi is not using Xanax. If he ate Xanax he would have eaten 200 tacos. BTW eating Xanax before a contest isn’t cheating.

    Found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk52vi7b6Qw

    Pat may have been neck and neck with Kobi until the end, but 10-20% of the food Pat put in his ended up on the floor or the table.

    Nice video, I didn’t know that Pat hung so close to Kobi. did they ever figure out what happened with mix up between 4th, 5th and 6th place?
