Krystal Square-Off World Hamburger Eating Contest

We all seen those little square hamburgers. You know, the ones that used to cost a dime each? Well, in Tennessee, the fast food chain that serves them up is called Krystal.

From Chattanooga comes word that Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi won the first-ever Krystal Square-Off World Hamburger Eating Championship. Kobyashi reportedly ate 69 burgers in eight minutes, collecting the 10-thousand dollar prize, beating 13 other contestants.

The 130-pound Kobayashi is also the champion of Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest held at Coney Island, N.Y.
