Over in Coney Island, New York, Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest was held to celebrate American Independance day. The winner was a man dubbed 'the Tsunami' Takeru Kobayashi who managed to munch 53 & 3/4 hotdogs in 12 minutes. That almost 4 and a half hots dogs per minute.
The really impressive/ downright disgusting (depending on how you look at it) fact is that by eating 53 hotdogs he consumed 16,500 calories (almost 7 times the recommended daily amount of calories) and a entire kilo of fat (about 16 times the recommended daily amount of fat)
A website called Callorie Lab has broked down Takeru's meal scientifically here
