NEW YORK - Kazutoyo the Rabbit Arai must have wished he had an Oscar Meyer wiener, and a box of Rolaids, after eating more than 25 hot dogs in 12 minutes at Nathan´s annual Independence Day hot dog eating contest in Coney Island. The slender 100-pound mattress salesman from Japan beat out last years winner, hefty 391 pound Steve The Terminator Keiner and set a new world´s record for eating the most hot dogs. In preparation for the big day, Arai said he went out the night before and ate enough Chinese food for 10 people. Arai was honored with the coveted mustard-yellow International Belt, a huge red trophy and 20 pounds of Nathan´s hot dogs to take back to Japan.
