    ‘Tis better to be perceived that the world revolves around you than to be one of those the world passes by.

    Hope the camera work is far better than the trailer. There are and will continue to be many films made about competitive eating so to say any particular one is the only is just puff. That being said, Kobayashi is still #1 in many ways and always will be historically. History cannot be erased.

    Screw him and the tsunami he rode to get here. I would rather listen to Gavonne.

    You never know. Why trash the guy? Well, it’s a free country. Think what you want, he is likely still the best eater on the planet.

    He displayed his true colors by rushing the stage in Coney Island. If you follow him on twitter or any other social network it’s all about him him him and his upcoming events $$$$ in his pocket. . He rarely mentions or cares about anyone else.

    Right now he is not a has been as far as name recognition is concerned. Joey will never ever ever come close to this, it will always be Kobayashi no matter what the topic the press manages to use his name. They remember it. No other eater can claim that title. http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-3013-carp_attack_.html
