Chip Simpson wins SW Florida wing contest
NewsPress.com reports that Chip Simpson ate 4.75 pounds of meat in 12 minutes at a wing eating contest held at Buffalo Chips in Bonita Springs, Florida. Simpson has not competed in an IFOCE contest since the 2007 Krystal finals and was the sole participant in the professionals division, which was created by the restaurant manager just before the contest started to make the contest more fair for the other entrants. Austin Anderson won the amateur division with 2 pounds, 9 ounces of meat.
NaplesNews.com also has an article
update News-Press.com has an updated article in which Chip Simpson claims he defeated Kobayashi in a wing eating contest. (As far as I am aware, Kobayashi has competed in one wing eating contest in his career which Chip Simpson did not participate in.)
