Kobayashi eating crystal burgers

[spidey07]

This guy is insane. Turn on ESPN2.

 

[effowe]

Yeah I've been watching this, he da man.

Edit:
Wow, they said he will gain as much as 20lbs. in this gorging session.

 

[spidey07]

If he wins this one he'll have the "triple crown" - hot dogs, brats and burgers.

 

[spidey07]

97 crystal burgers. 97!

I have no idea how many pounds of food that is. But that's insane.

 

[Indolent]

what are crystal burgers?

 

[spidey07]

They're like white castle burgers.

They're small - most people can maybe eat 10 of them at best.

 

[Jawo]

I almost puked when I saw him eating that many....2nd place at like 90 and third was left in the dust with 60 something.

 

[Looney]

Oh man, i don't have my dish set up... haven't bothered since i don't watch TV much, but this looks interesting.

 

[TheTony]

I think it's Krystal burgers.

The Krystal Square Off is the official World Hamburger Eating Championship, taking place in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is sanctioned by the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE). In this event, contestants eat as many Krystal hamburgers as possible in eight minutes. Krystals are fresh, small, 2.5 inch square hamburgers popular throughout the Southeastern United States. Many tour professionals state that this is the premier eating event on the tour.

2nd place guy was Chestnut. Apparently he's a college kid that just started eating competively a year ago. And he's been almost taking down Kobayashi!

1 Krystal burger = 60g
60g = 2.116oz
2.116oz*97burgers = 205.252oz
205.252oz/16oz = 12.828lbs

You have to learn to APPRECIATE the extreme athleticism and preparation involved in this blood sport.

I'll admit it. I really enjoyed watching it. It's pretty amazing actually and when you add up the numbers it makes you realize how talented and trained these atheletes are.

I heard that James T. Kirk won this by altering the speed that the game's timer ran at. He got some kind of an award for original thinking.

I don't really consider them athletes, but you gotta appreciate their talent. I mean I don't see anyone else eating 97 Krystal Burgers.

 

[ed21x]

talented in an entertaining way. if everything in the world had to have purpose, we would all be living very bland but functional lives.

Sorry but I don't see that as talented. Talented would be like being able to play the piano really ****** well or something.

agree 100%

i don't think so, control over their body and dedication/training is talent. if you want to be that way i can say most pianists are just trained monkeys. tapping away at keys reading someone elses music. the only people with true talent are great composers ok?
