Kobayashi eats way to world lobster roll record Takeru Kobayashi, the world's greatest competitive eater, set a world record in Boston on Saturday by eating 41 lobster rolls in 10 minutes. Three and half minutes into the GoldenPalace.net World Lobster Eating Challenge, Kobayashi had downed 22 lobster rolls and he could have stopped there. A team of four eaters managed just 25 rolls in the same amount of time. He takes home a prize of $10,000. Kobayashi is best known for winning the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Competition in Coney Island where he ate 53½ hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes.
