Anonymous competitive eaters allege improper Wing Bowl counting

January 30, 2013 at 11:34 pm by ojrifkin · More posts about:Philadelphia

Philly.com has an article about Wing Bowl 21 with the following anonymous quotes:

One longtime competitor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, quipped, “[acclaimed competitive eater] Joey Chestnut comes in from California, wins three Wing Bowls, and his numbers are somewhere around the 160 mark. Then Squibb gets to 200? How the heck do you think Kobayashi ate 337 wings? It’s not because they’re the biggest wings you ever saw in your life. They’ve gotten smaller.”

…

Still, another anonymous insider suggested the year-over-year increase is a result of the contest being rigged, calling the competition “complete b——-.”
