POSTED: 10:10 am EST November 21, 2005

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- One of the world's top competitive eaters has defended his hamburger-eating title.

Takeru Kobayashi of Japan wolfed down 67 miniature burgers in eight minutes to win the contest in Chattanooga. Aside from a championship belt, he also takes home a $10,000 check.

Kobayashi won last year by eating 69 burgers.

A spokesman for the International Federation of Competitive Eating said Kobayashi is also a five-time Nathan's hot dog eating champ.

Kobayashi, who has become one of the most recognized faces in competitive eating, currently holds the world's records for eating hot dogs, hamburgers, rice balls and cow brains.

Yuck, cow brains! I'm always surprised when I see these eating champs. The ones I have seen are skinny little things. I would expect some huge guy.

This Japanese kid is very skinny and puts the big hulking guys to shame. He can suck down a hot dog like a Hoover.:eek:
