    Pat can beat Joey at wings but can’t beat Tim Brown or Shawn Gordon? Is it just me or does something seem a bit odd? I’m guessing Booker and several others probably had negative totals. Apparently another well-run contest.

    I would guess it’s “The Curse Of The Kolaches”!

    The contest was a competitive and fair one. Nobody complained about the totals but some had a hard time with the overcooked sauceless wings. Pat is a great competitor and made no gripes about his 4th place finish. Flash cleaned his wings and gravy was an animal. US male and Badland Booker were 5th & 6th and tore up some wings as well.

    Sonya was on her game and kicked ass. Congrats Black Widow . The crowd loved her

    I think she expected the same crew as last year. When she found out pat and tim were going her manager/husband advised her to sit it out

    Most impressed by Flash Gordan. Had a chance to eat with him much and he is my choice for Rookie of the Year.

    The entire city of Buffalo, New York, would like to thank Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti for traveling all the way from Chicago to our fine city to compete in yesterday’s wing eating competition. All Buffaloians hope he enjoys and cherishes the PARTICIPATION RIBBON he won!
