Sidelined hot dog titan Takeru Kobayashi went berserk Sunday, storming the stage after a contract dispute kept him out of the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating competition.

The 128-pound former champ got steamed while watching from the crowd as archrival Joey (Jaws) Chestnut took home the mustard yellow belt for the fourth year in a row.

Wearing a "Free Kobi" T-shirt, Kobayashi tried to force his way onto the stage at Coney Island during the awards ceremony, struggling with cops who finally arrested him and slapped on the cuffs.

"It’s unprofessional and unsavory and, frankly, rather frustrating," said contest organizer Richard Shea.

Kobayashi, 32, was charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and trespassing. He remained in custody early this morning until a courtroom interpreter could be found.
