NEW YORK STATE FAIR -- Now you may not catch this guy chowing down in a college dining hall, but he can certainly eat.

Friday, we caught up with competitive eater and Hofmann Sausage Company Spokesman Takeru Kobayashi.

Kobayashi is going to attempt to set a record for most hot dogs eaten in ten minutes this Sunday. We're not talking about any small feat either. He plans to eat 100 hot dogs.

Be sure to tune in Sunday to find out if he sets the record.
