Someone is finally attacking Takeru Kobayashi's mantle as best eater ever.

For the second year in a row, Joey Chestnut beat six-time champ Kobayashi in a tie breaker to win the Mustard Belt in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

"Actually this year because of my jaw injury I wasn't able to train very much in the in the gym, but because I can't train I focus on eating well and watching what I eat," said Kobayashi.

Training in the gym? Does he do the bench press with his face?

This is the second year in a row Chesnut has grabbed the coveted prize.
