Sonya Thomas Says Joey Chestnut, Takeru Kobayashi To Surpass Century Mark, World Record
While Sonya Thomas has sadly been sidelined from competing at the Krystal Square V World Hamburger Eating Championship, that hasn’t stopped her from chiming in with a prediction on Sunday’s big event, where the top competitive eaters from around the world will battle it out in Chattanooga for the top hamburger title and a $50,000 cash purse.
Just yesterday on her popular website, the Black Widow commented:
“I expect both Koby and Joey to eat over 100 Krystals in the Finals, and a new World Record to be established. It will truly be something to witness, almost to the point that some of the other participants will almost be inclined to put down their Krystals and stop eating, just to witness the drama between these two best eaters in the world. (Of course, given the money at stake, everyone will keep eating to the end, I’m sure.)”

Thomas has never shied away from prognosticating on eating competitions, especially the Krystal Square Off. During our podcast interview with her earlier this month, the world’s No. 1 female eater predicted that the top number this year at Krystal Square Off V would be in the 105-110 range. Considering Joey Chestnut did 103 last year and Takeru Kobayashi is reportedly putting away 100 in under eight minutes during his practices this week, she may be spot on.
So who does she pick to win it all? Listen to our podcast interview with her.
