Just listening to the Competitive Eating podcast over at
Eatcast. It makes for some pretty interesting listening with regards to Chestnut, Kobayashi and Bertoletti.
Bertoletti has been beating Chestnut in the past month or so, but that's been in the grits, wings, ribs and waffle categories. The guys reckon Chestnut excels at 'dogs and burgers and will have been preparing for Krystals rather than the other contests.
They were also saying they wouldn't be surprised to see Chestnut smash the current record, possibly hitting the 130 mark!
Think I may have a bit of the 100+ bet after all!
