Is it just me or does Chestnut look like he's going to puke the entire contest?

Guess it doesn't matter if he keeps the Mustard Belt here in the States.

I am going with Kobayashi :D

I saw him go against Chestnut in a whitecastle type buger eating contest. If you push Kobayashi and see someone is on his tail, he turns it up.

Chestnut might have the record, but I think he isnt going to win it all when the pressure is on. :D
