Kobayashi broke last year’s record of 34 1/2 brats by a whopping 23 1/2 and setting the new record at 58. Those 58 brats = 16,820 calories, 1,450 grams of fat and 45,000 mg of sodium. It looks like American Joey Chestnut continues to be his main competition. Chestnut almost beat Kobayashi in the Nathan’s hot dog eating championship on July 4 but lost to Kobayashi in the brat eating competition by 13 brats.
