More Than A Pound Of Beef Plus Cheesecake?

He’s sick. Totally sick:

A day after downing a record-breaking 53 and 3/4 hot dogs and buns, Takeru Kobayashi polished off a 22-oz. steak, salad and slice of cheesecake.

“This is the best steak I have ever eaten,” Kobayashi, 28, told the Daily News through a translator as he tore into the slab of medium-rare New York strip steak yesterday afternoon. “It’s better than Kobe beef.”

In no time flat, the Japanese chowhound was gnawing at the bone.

“He polished it,” said an awestruck Tom Hart, general manager of Smith & Wollensky at E. 49th St. and Third Ave. “It was amazing.”

. . .

Kobayashi’s demure dining experience at Smith & Wollensky was a far cry from his sixth straight prize-winning performance at Coney Island where he elbowed out a table full of sweaty pro eaters.

The 160-pound “tsunami” shared a quiet corner table at the steak house with his translator, a gal pal and former competitor Tim Janus.

Instead of using a paper cup of soda to dunk his buns, he sipped house red wine from a delicate glass.

But Kobayashi got at least one reminder of the previous day’s gluttony when mischievous staffers delivered a single hot dog on a bun in lieu of his real meal.

“They brought out that hot dog, and he was like, ‘What?'” said translator Robert Ikeda, 36.

Kobayashi good-naturedly agreed to take a few bites as the table beside him cheered.

The chomp champ also stomached a mixed green salad with Italian dressing, a thick slice of cheesecake and a couple of cream puffs. There was only one problem — he couldn’t escape the eau du frankfurter.

“My skin smells like hot dogs,” Kobayashi confessed, wrinkling his nose as he took a whiff of his arm. “I’m not kidding.”
