    Kobayashi downs record 337 wings at Pa. Wing Bowl

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Competitive-eating champ Takeru Kobayashi (tah-kah-roo koh-bee-yah-shee) conquered Philadelphia's annual gustatory gorge-fest by eating 337 chicken wings in a half-hour before a crowd of nearly 20,000 at Wing Bowl XX.

    The Japanese phenom demolished the record of 255 set last year by Jonathan "Super" Squibb.

    The Friday morning extravaganza drew thousands to the Wells Fargo Center before sunrise to watch competitors stuff themselves with chicken wings.

    Kobayashi claimed a $20,000 cash prize for his victory. It was the six-time Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest champ's first time competing at Wing Bowl, though he consumed a cheesesteak in 24 seconds as part of an eating exhibition last year.

    Squibb had been trying to win his fourth consecutive Wing Bowl crown, but the Berlin, N.J., man finished a distant second with 271 wings.

    What do you think?

    How do you like your wings on Super Bowl Sunday?

      How many homeless families could have been fed with all that was served these so-called Athletes? Competitive-eating is just plain stupid and wasteful. And They Are Not Athletes!!

        Ha ha--nice one Colaradian! For non-Japanese speakers, instead of saying "Please sit down," he asked his female visitor to "Please touch (me)."

      If a zombie apocalypse ever happened, for the sake of any hope of surviving, I'll pray Kobayashi isn't infected.
