Japan sets new record for chicken wing eating contest
More than 17,000 mostly beer-fuelled spectators packed a Philadelphia indoor arena recently for the city's annual early morning eating extravaganza in which competitors vie to eat the most chicken wings.
Japanese champion Takeru Kobayashi, weighing just 57.6kg defeated his much larger opponents in the 20th annual Wing Bowl and walked away with a US$20,000 (RM60,000) prize after devouring a record-breaking 337 chicken wings during the 30-minute contest.
The competitive eater easily smashed the previous record of 255 wings set by Jonathan 'Super Squibb' Squibb, who had won the celebration of gluttony the previous three years, and defeated local favorite Bill 'El Wingador' Simmons, a five-time champion who weighs 150kg.
