“Tossing Pizza”

In a Pizza Hut sponsored contest to eat the most P’zones, Tereku Kobyashi beat competitive eating rival Joey Chestnut, eating 5 ¾ of the 1-lb. pepperoni-pizza-calzone entrees in just 6 minutes. Not only was he thrilled to win, he also had no trouble immediately filling the trophy cup.

Presumably, the contest was also sponsored by marijuana.

The winner’s prize? The remaining ¼ pizza in a doggy bag.

Despite Kobayashi’s victory, in a contest like this, there really are no losers… except the two guys competing.

After his narrow victory, Kobayashi respects his rival, just not his own body.

After the contest, Kobayashi was yelling excitedly. Friends helped him to try to keep it down.

Kobayashi was already a six time hot-dog-eating world champion. Last year’s championship contest ended in a tie at 59 hot dogs. Kobayashi then won by eating 5 more franks in the tie-breaker, or as it is more aptly known, sudden death.
