Eating champion wins new contest
Advertisements [?]
It's good to know Takeru Kobayashi has found his calling in life...

Japan's champion speed-eater has won his second contest in two days by ingurgitating 100 roasted pork buns in 12 minutes in Hong Kong.


He downed 83 steamed dumplings in eight minutes on Saturday.


He also holds the world record for hot dog eating - 53-and-a-half in 12 minutes.




He set another world record in 2004 by eating 69 hamburgers in eight minutes at an international contest in Tennessee.
