Remember when Jacky Legathy tried to eat more boneless wings at BWW than Joey’s 200 wing promo for them last year?
Would love to see him try to get the new record for wing poundage after Joey sets it today…

@1209 – because there isn’t one. He made a big deal out of the “event” and even had a local podcast show up. He wasn’t even close to the record and brushed it under the rug. Also kind of like when he tried to eat more pizza than 3 people at vizzy’s pizza palace and lost. Let’s also not forget when Dan Kennedy spanked him at a pumpkin pie contest. He never posts when he loses because he’s got an ego. But hey, he said he’s In all this to build relationships with restaurant owners so what do I know.

This is such a fun one—seeing that Buffalo Wild Wings session is specifically framed as a “traditional wings” poundage record, and the article’s table of prior results makes it easier to gauge what a huge jump he’d need to clear. I’ve watched a couple wing eating events, and the biggest difference-maker beyond sheer speed seems to be how consistent the bite-to-bite pacing is (not just going all-out at the start). Also, that “update” link is clutch—these attempts often hinge on last-minute conditions like timing and how the wings are portioned.
