For some Americans the
Super Bowl was not the most important sports even of the past week, the
Wing Bowl was.
You gotta love
Buffalo wings, they’re delicious, but would you get up at 5 in the morning to eat as man as you can?That’s what the contestants of
Wing Bowl 2009 had to do in order to win the 17the edition of the event, on January 30.
23-year-old first-timer
Jonathan Squibb managed to eat his way through 203 delicious chicken wings, 23 more than the runer-up.
Squibb‘s prizes were a brand new
Mini Cooper and a very good meal, of course. he said he’ll be back next year to defend his title.
Wing Bowl 2009 took place at the
Wachovia Center, in
Philadelphia, a town that is said came up with this competition 17 years ago because the locals were getting tired of their sports teams never winning competitions.
I’d enter Wing Bowl over
The Big Eat any day.
