November 21st, 2005 by Maria

Japan’s Takeru Kobayashi, best known as the world’s champion speed hot dog eater, consumed 67 Krystal hamburgers in eight minutes to win the 2005 Krystal Square Off World Hamburger Eating Championship in Chattanooga, TN.

San Jose’s Joey Chestnut, 21, led much of the way but settled for second place in the burger battle, eating 62. Sonya Thomas finished third with 56 hamburgers and Bob Shoudt took 4th with an impressive 51.

Now, I think I can only manage at most 3 delicious and juicy hamburgers within 8 minutes time. What about you? Do you think you can eat more than 5 hamburgers within 8 minutes time? Haha… Takeru Kobayashi is surely a world champion!
