Wing Bowl 2010 arrives

February 4th, 2010 by Eric Schwartz

Wing Bowl 2010 arrives thumbnail
It’s almost time for the big event!
No I’m not talking about the Super Bowl, I’m talking about the Wing Bowl. For the 18th consecutive year contestants will stuff their faces with chicken wings in hope to be crowned the top eater in Philadelphia. Hosted by 610 WIP the event takes place at the Wachovia Center at 6 a.m.
It is madness; it is mayhem; it is Philly.
 
 
 

 

 

The odds-on favorite is a contestant that goes by the name of Super Squid. He is the event’s defending champion and is listed as a 2-1 favorite.

Personally, I am rooting for The Wild Turkey. Anyone who can put down 5 dbl cheeseburgers and 3lbs of mashed potatoes in 7 minutes has my vote.

I will be there and will have a full report and hopefully pictures at some point Friday.
