Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, who was the reigning champion, held onto his title by <a href="http://www.ifoce.com/news.php?action=detail&amp;sn=578" target="_blank">chowing down on 241 chicken wings</a> in 30 minutes. This was 14 more than his nearest competitor Patrick Bertoletti and 36 more than third place Bill "El Wingador" Simmons.</p> <p>For his gastronomic feat, Chestnut — when did he obtain the nickname "Jaws"? I swear he didn't have it for the <a href="http://yumsugar.com/371457" >Fourth of July Hot Dog Contest</a> — received a Toyota Tundra, a 2008 Black 883 Sportster motorcycle, a championship ring, and, of course, all the bragging rights.</p> <p>So what do you folks think, could you eat that many wings in 30 minutes? Could you even eat half the amount? Also, can you believe the number of folks who attended? From the look of things, this place was packed!</p> <p><p> <div id=mask-99996 class=mask style='float:left;width:75px;height:75px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFF;margin:0px 3px 3px 0px;border:0px solid #111;padding:0px;' onmouseover={style.borderColor='#66BB50'} onmouseout={style.borderColor='#111'}> <div style='margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;'> <a target=gallery3 class='thumb2 active ' href=http://www.yumsugar.com/gallery/220366?page=0,0,0><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15259/05_2008/79467477_10.smallsquare.jpg" alt="image" title="image" class="image smallsquare" width="75" height="75" /></a> </div> </div> <div id=mask-98356 class=mask style='float:left;width:75px;height:75px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFF;margin:0px 3px 3px 0px;border:0px solid #111;padding:0px;' onmouseover={style.borderColor='#66BB50'} onmouseout={style.borderColor='#111'}> <div style='margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;'> <a target=gallery3 class='thumb2 ' href=http://www.yumsugar.com/gallery/220366?page=0,1,0><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15259/05_2008/79467495_10.smallsquare.jpg" alt="image" title="image" class="image smallsquare" width="75" height="75" /></a> </div> </div> <div id=mask-41940 class=mask style='float:left;width:75px;height:75px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFF;margin:0px 3px 3px 0px;border:0px solid #111;padding:0px;' onmouseover={style.borderColor='#66BB50'} onmouseout={style.borderColor='#111'}> <div style='margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;'> <a target=gallery3 class='thumb2 ' href=http://www.yumsugar.com/gallery/220366?page=0,2,0><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15259/05_2008/79467497_10.smallsquare.jpg" alt="image" title="image" class="image smallsquare" width="75" height="75" /></a> </div> </div> <div id=mask-18378 class=mask style='float:left;width:75px;height:75px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFF;margin:0px 3px 3px 0px;border:0px solid #111;padding:0px;' onmouseover={style.borderColor='#66BB50'} onmouseout={style.borderColor='#111'}> <div style='margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;'> <a target=gallery3 class='thumb2 ' href=http://www.yumsugar.com/gallery/220366?page=0,3,0><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15259/05_2008/79467552_10.smallsquare.jpg" alt="image" title="image" class="image smallsquare" width="75" height="75" /></a> </div> </div> <div id=mask-1937 class=mask style='float:left;width:75px;height:75px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFF;margin:0px 3px 3px 0px;border:0px solid #111;padding:0px;' onmouseover={style.borderColor='#66BB50'} onmouseout={style.borderColor='#111'}> <div style='margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;'> <a target=gallery3 class='thumb2 ' href=http://www.yumsugar.com/gallery/220366?page=0,4,0><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15259/05_2008/79467512_10.smallsquare.jpg" alt="image" title="image" class="image smallsquare" width="75" height="75" /></a> </div> </div> <div id=mask-66325 class=mask style='float:left;width:75px;height:75px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFF;margin:0px 3px 3px 0px;border:0px solid #111;padding:0px;' onmouseover={style.borderColor='#66BB50'} onmouseout={style.borderColor='#111'}> <div style='margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;'> <a target=gallery3 class='thumb2 ' href=http://www.yumsugar.com/gallery/220366?page=0,5,0><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15259/05_2008/79467509_10.smallsquare.jpg" alt="image" title="image" class="image smallsquare" width="75" height="75" /></a> </div> </div> <div id=mask-91392 class=mask style='float:left;width:75px;height:75px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFF;margin:0px 3px 3px 0px;border:0px solid #111;padding:0px;' onmouseover={style.borderColor='#66BB50'} onmouseout={style.borderColor='#111'}> <div style='margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;'> <a target=gallery3 class='thumb2 ' href=http://www.yumsugar.com/gallery/220366?page=0,6,0><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15259/05_2008/79467456_10.smallsquare.jpg" alt="image" title="image" class="image smallsquare" width="75" height="75" /></a> </div> </div> </p><br clear=all></p> <p><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank">Source</a> </p> http://www.yumsugar.com/1005039#comment chicken wings competitive eating joey chestnut super bowl wing bowl Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:10:31 -0800 YumSugar http://www.yumsugar.com/1005039
