Wing Bowl 2010: Wing Bowl Live: Wing Bowl Pictures – Wing Bowl is an interesting annual eating contest founded in 1993 by Philadelphia talk-radio hosts Al Morganti and Angelo Cataldi as a celebration of gluttony. The contest was first broadcast on WIP (AM).
This yearThe Wing Bowl is a Philadelphia chicken-wing-eating contest held just before the Super Bowl each year. About 150 people attended Wing Bowl I (held in a hotel) in 1993 to see a competition between two contestants. The Wing Bowl is traditionally held on the Friday precedingthe Super Bowl, which comes on Sunday after Wing Bowl.
Squibb’s Wing Bowl 2010 mark narrowly missed the record, held by professional eater Joey Chestnut, who once ate 241 wings in 30 minutes. Not Rich placed second for the second straight year with 145 wings. Squibb had 203 wings last year. The Wing Bowl has been held annually the Friday beforethe Super Bowl since 1993.
Competitors gain entry to the contest by completing eating stunts like consuming the “WIP vending machine in 24 minutes” (as one 2010 competitor did according to WIP’s website) or participating in an official Wing Off, where Wing-Bowl wannabees eat as many wings as they can in 10 minutes.
As of 2009, professional competitive eaters are no longer allowed to participate in the Wing Bowl.
