USA: World's fastest eater breaks new record

The world's greatest competitive eater, Takeru Kobayashi, went to Boston on Saturday (September 23) to try and set another record. At the world lobster roll eating challenge, Kobayashi blew away the competition. In just ten minutes, he ate 41 lobster rolls, setting a new world record. The prize - ten-thousand U.S. dollars. The Japanese star has never been beaten in any eating competition since he turned pro in 1998. In other contests, Kobayashi has eaten 53 and-a-half hot dogs and buns in 12-minutes and 67 bratwursts in ten minutes.
