SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) -- The Japanese man considered the world's greatest eater is to make his debut today at the Johnsonville World Brat Eating Championship.
The event with 20-thousand dollars in prizes up for grabs starts at noon in Sheboygan.
Takeru Kobayashi won the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in New York City. The 160-pound man from Nagano, Japan ate nearly 54 frankfurters.
Also competing today will be Joey Chestnut, who came in second in New York City. He weighs 220 pounds and ate 52 frankfurters.
Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas. The 100-pound woman from Alexandria, Virginia ate 37 hot dogs last month in Nathan's contest.
Godspeed, Black Widow, reigning brat-eating champ.
