30 For 30: The Good, The Bad, The Hungry (ESPN, 8 p.m.): Director Nicole Lucas Haimes’ excellent 30 For 30 installment concerns one of the all-time-great rivalries in the history of televised competitions. We write not of Frazier vs. Ali, nor the Red Sox vs. the Yankees, nor the New York Knicks vs. fans of the New York Knicks. We write, of course, of Takeru Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut, two champions of the competitive eating world—most notably, of Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, which will take place this year on July 4, once again. (For more on the saga and Haimes’ affecting documentary, pay a visit to the Washington Post.)

This is, of course a frank tale of dogged determination.

At least.
I know. I'd get sick after 4
It may have been Kobayashi, but someone sat down and analyzed eating. Separating the buns, dunking them in water, very clinical.
The competitive eating administrative guy, he is so unlikable.
No catch up on hotdogs...only mustard.

I've always liked the contest. 4th of July history, Nathan's, and never understanding how the heck a human being could eat so many hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Just finished watching. Kobyashi seemed to come up with the method. Competitive Eating guy is a complete douche.
