I watched this pretty crazy Kobayashi threw up his last hotdogs didn't get DQ'd but they took them away declaring Chestnut the winner. Chestnut was a head of Kobayashi throughout the 12 minutes till the last 2 minutes.
I'm proud to live in San Jose now lol.

I believe that if Kobayashi didn't suffer the jaw injury (or arthritis) he could've easily won, i didn't watch it though so i don't know what happened and if his jaw injury actually affected his performance.

I don't think Kobayashi woulda won even without the jaw injury or wisdom tooth extraction, because those two things didn't contribute to him throwing up. Either way, 60+ hot dogs is pretty damn crazy.

Kobayashi had a jaw injury, that during the most painful time, he said he could not open it more than a fingertip's width. That's pretty extreme right there.
Secondly, he stated that because he was not able to perform at 100% he felt like he did not deserve to win this year. (dunno how much of that is BS since he said it after he lost) Though, he promised he will win next year.
Crazy_sherm - since it was during his practice time, it definitely contributed to him throwing up. Think of it as equivalent of hitting the wall when you sprint.
