...spend six months of the year traveling and tasting, trying new ingredients, inventing new techniques. For the Flögels and El Bulli's 48 other customers on Monday night, the result of all that investigation and inspiration took the form of "spherified" olives that, when put in the mouth, exploded with a gush of intensely flavored olive oil. The liquid yolk of a quail's egg came wrapped in a hard burnished shell tasting of candy. Citrus pulp turned into a tangy risotto. An utterly normal-looking raspberry, dotted with wasabi, turned out to be crisp and fragile...
...talked his way into a stand-up gig at a comedy club in Pasadena, Calif. "My thing was the 50-year-old mouth on the 10-year-old body," LaBeouf says. He took to the stage in overalls, with a bowl haircut, and "the first words out of my mouth would be 'Listen, assholes,'" he says. "Sometimes I would bomb.

As Kobayashi is a national hero in Japan, where competitive eating has been popular for years, his countrymen responded in droves with offers to help. Soon after his posting, Kobayashi had a wisdom tooth pulled and began treatment...
...interpreter's New York City hotel room Tuesday afternoon trying food on for size, Kobayashi could open his mouth wide enough to accommodate a hot dog by itself, but an attempt to push through a bun resembled a Mack truck trying to enter a home garage. Two visits to an acupuncturist in the city, painkillers and anti-inflammatory pills lessened the pain - but not the shame - of his current condition. "I'm very embarrassed as an athlete and as a competitive eater that I didn't take care of my body and that I'm at this point now," Kobayashi...
