The Netflix eating competition didn’t allow for contestants to dunk their buns in water, a technique Kobayashi all but perfected. This increased the challenge.
Chestnut ate 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes, and Kobayashi downed a respectable 66. Chestnut remarked that he had been trying to hit 80 hot dogs for years.
Kobayashi endured years of racism before leaving Major League Eating, highlighting the broader issues within competitive eating and their struggles outside the contest.
Chestnut stated, 'He drives me. We weren't always nice to each other, but I love [that] we push each other to be our best.' This reflects their rivalry.
