Is the battle of the titans back on? Rumors and stomachs are swirling after eight-time world hot dog eating champion Joey "Jaws" Chestnut revealed that there may be a face-off against disgraced gustatory legend Takeru Kobayashi in the works. Chestnut leaked the news -- albeit before reaching a final deal with Kobi -- Wednesday in an interview with the New York Daily News. On Thursday, just before America's celebrated July 4th eating contest, Chestnut said he'd be happy to have Kobi back at the Big Table.
