The Good, The Bad, The Hungry, premiering Tuesday, details the stratospheric rise and controversial fall of Kobayashi, whose reign was cut short by losses to Chestnut and a feud with the co-founder of Major League Eating. "It’s an alternately thrilling, funny and messy tale of rivalry, innovation, ambition and engorged stomachs, and one that feels like it’s the prelude to a Rocky-style comeback sequel in which Kobayashi returns to the MLE fold to once more take on Chestnut," says Nick Schager.
