(From The Associated Press -- By Pat Shannahan)
A California man smashed the world record for hot dog eating at a contest Saturday, gobbling up more than 59 franks in 12 minutes.
JOEY CHESTNUT, 22, of San Jose, shattered the record held by TAKERU KOBAYASHI of Japan by downing 59 "HBDs" -- hot dogs and buns -- during the SOUTHWEST REGIONAL HOT DOG EATING CHAMPIONSHIP at the Arizona Mills Mall in suburban Tempe.
Kobayashi's old record of 53 was set last year at NATHAN'S FAMOUS FOURTH OF JULY HOT DOG EATING CONTEST, held at Coney Island in New York, said GEORGE COSTOS, who helps runs the regional contests for NATHAN'S.
