A guy ate 337 chicken wings in 30 minutes of eating.
In Philly we have a tradition called Wing Bowl. The idea is to eat as many chicken wings in 30 minutes of eating, spread out over an hour plus of time. This has been a Philly thing for 20 yrs. TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE attend the event. They pay for seats and the money goes to feed homeless / poor people. Last year a new record was set... 247 wings..... and the contest was won buy a Philly area guy.
This year they invited the guy who wins all the hot dog eating contests. He's a skinny Japanese guy. He CRUSHED the previous wing record by 90 wings!!!!!
The whole day is a blast! The event last a total of 4 hours and is carried live on radio, and TV does frequent live shots from the arena. It is a whole mardi gras kind of event, including the beads, if you follow me....
Several years ago, when I was over 300 pounds, I tried this on my own... I ate 41 wings..... what a wimp!
Google "Wing Bowl 2012", if you think you would like to read more.... it really is quite a spectacle!

My buddy and I entered a waffle eating contest at Waffle House several years ago. I only ate 4 waffles and he ate 6. the winner ate 22 and to this day I don't know how he did it! I just don't eat much in one sitting.0
-
Couldn't you just give the homeless/hungry people the wings? In all seriousness though, before even opening this, I had it in my head that it was a skinny japanese guy. It ALWAYS is.0

Competitive eating is awesome. I was originally going to enter a challenge at a local restaurant where you have to eat a burger with 2 1lb patties, a pound of pulled pork, 9 slices of cheese, 9 strips of bacon, and a pound of french fries in under an hour. Only one female has ever done it (in 23 mins, mind you), and yep, she's tiny. Competitive eating actually requires a great deal of endurance; when I was training for the event I was going running every day. Unfortunately the day I had planned to do it didn't work out and now I'm a vegetarian, so that dream is kind of over. It still fascinates me though, and hot dog guy is awesome.0

Competitive eaters train for it, they also fast for a day or 2 before and after the event, and are very strict about their normal diet. Also do a lot of exercise, they tend to be endurance athletes.
It's certainly not something anybody can just show up for and do.0 -
337 is easy0

Kobayashi is a freaking legend. Of course he won.
On another note... I work at a place called wild wing cafe and during lunch on weekdays we do an all you can eat wing bar... I see some gross people eating gross amount of wings on a daily basis.0 -
I love wings. But it takes me way to long to eat even one - I could never do a speed challenge!0

Really, someone always has to mention this? As if people are going hungry because there's not enough food to go around? Reality, please.Couldn't you just give the homeless/hungry people the wings?0 -
