PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Pat Bertoletti, hot sauce smeared across his face and a look of serious ingestion no doubt churning his insides, felt compelled to lift his t-shirt and show off some semblance of a six pack below the layers of a new Wing Bowl record 444 wings he devoured Friday to become the upset winner of Wing Bowl 23.

 

Bertoletti came from six wings down in the final two-minute speed round to unseat defending Wing Bowl champion Molly Schuyler, who finished with an equally impressive 440 wings.

 

“I’m full, I want ice cream or beer, or something else, I’m full of chicken wings,” Bertoletti said afterwards. “I own a restaurant so I’ve been cooking wings at the restaurant all week. I ate about 300 in my last practice. I knew I was going to hit 400. I didn’t know how many I ate today, it’s crazy. I almost lost it a couple of times. The second round was very tough, I knew I was behind and I had to pull it off in some way. The wings were very small, so I stripped the meat off with my hands. That seemed to be very efficient and fast. I’m glad to take it home. I came close before. This is the best day of my life, other than opening a restaurant and my niece being born. Somebody give me a drink.”

Thats alot of fowl.

The amount of food these people eat is unreal.

I think LRCW would wipe this cat out.

I would hate to be married to Molly. I couldn't afford her.

No doubt. How would they keep track if I ate bone and all?

I have a great pic of my boy LRCW tearin up some wings back in the day. I can't find the dang thing.

Pro wrestler Mick Foley ejected from Wing Bowl for cheating - NY Daily News

 

Professional wrestling star Mick Foley has been ejected from Philadelphia’s Wing Bowl eating contest after stuffing uneaten chicken wings into a fanny pack in an attempt to increase his total.

 

People following Friday’s event on social media dubbed Foley’s antics “inflate gate,” a play on the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots’ deflated football controversy.

Molly is more impressive to me.

 

Wow

This makes me think of the other thread recently where one could get paid for their poo. I wonder how much that first movement after this contest could be worth?

Is this it?

I don't blame you, she might eat you if you don't feed her enough. Yikes!!

 

Those must have been some good wings.
