February 5th, 2012 by Elusive Media

Wing Bowl, the Mardi Gras of the eating competition world. If you haven’t heard of it before, its a eating competition that was started in 1993 and the party officially starts at 6am…yes in the morning; while fan tailgate hours before in the parking lots. Each competitor enters the arena with their entourage and themed float with always some Wingettes to get the crowed worked up. With the crown and championship ring and $20,000 first prize and 2nd place prize a 2012 Chevy Camaro, this is one serious competition for the competitors.
In past years, it was only amateur eaters were allowed to compete. But with the invite of Takeru Kobayashi, the title that is held by local fan favorite Super Squibb and 3 time champion is about to be tested. After round one, Kobayashi takes the lead with 165 and Super Squib at 144. Round Two Kobyashi takes a commanding lead with 317 to Super Squibb 252. After the 3rd and final round, Kobayashi sets a new record of 337 wings and takes the title! Also a quick shout to this years Wingette of the year winner, Nicole Renee, which also won a 883 Sportster!
