It is extremely unlikely that you could out-eat world champion competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi, but what if you had three friends on your team? As it turns out, 4:1 are not good enough odds to take on the champ. In the World Lobster Roll Eating Challenge in Boston, a team of four young Massachusetts residents (about 19 years old or so) tried, collectively, to eat more than Kobayashi. Even with $10,000 prize money as an incentive, the four could only put away 25 rolls to Kobayashi's 41.Kobayashi, who has been called the Lance Armstrong of the competitive eating world, took home the prize money instead of the local team.

I hate this fool on the priciple that he eats like a pig and never gains any weight. What does he do, work out eight hours a day?
Whatever his secret is, he has raised the bar on gluttony to stratospheric heights. So, congratulations one more time to the skinny runt with the bottomless gut. I swear his only limit is the timer.

They might as well forget beating this guy,he has an abnormal stomch or something, to eat that many rolls without something bad happening! And the poor souls that keep trying to beat him. I watched him in the hotdog contest and what was even more gross was he dipped the hotdogand bun in water and just inhaled the thing.........LOL..........too gross!

He works out ALL day and does this for a living (i'm serious). He trains by eating as much lettuce as he can in one sitting to stretch out his stomach and then works out all day. This is how he stays in shape.

I'm betting he uses a ballon to inflate his stomach.
