Kobayashi Comeback

The era of Kobayashi has not yet passed.

Or so that is what you might believe after he impressive win against arch-rival Joey Chestnut in the Pizza Hut P'Zone Chow-lenge at the SpikeTV Guys' Choice Awards in LA.

Kobayashi fell behind in the opening minute as Chestnut popped out to his trademark lead. But the Japanese eating superstar then came roaring back to gain the lead, which he then maintained throughout the six-minute contest.

The two eaters walked the red carpet after the event alongside Michael Irvin. Other luminaries at the event: Clint Eastwood, Ben Stiller, Brad Pitt, Rosario Dawson, Mickey Rourke, Jamie Foxx and Halle Barry.

And, McLovin.
