Kobayashi goes for world record in Chester today

Japanese mega-masticator Takeru Kobayashi, whose last visit to Philly saw him crushing Osteria and Garces Trading Co. food with The 700 Level and Philly Mag, is back in town today with the aim of breaking his own cheesesteak-consumption mark. This afternoon at Harrah's (777 Harrah's Blvd.), the pro eater will try and wolf down a Tony Luke's sandwich in less than 24 seconds, his current record. He'll then perform various other regional feats of intestinal strength, such as killing a two-pound Varallo's cannoli and pizzas and mac 'n' cheese from various Harrah's restaurants. No giant bears as far as we know.
