    Kobayashi eats record 337 chicken wings

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Japanese competitive-eating champ Takeru Kobayashi ate a record 337 chicken wings in 30 minutes before a crowd of nearly 20,000 at Wing Bowl XX in the U.S.

    He demolished the record of 255 set last year by Jonathan "Super" Squibb.

    The Friday morning contest in Philadelphia drew thousands to watch competitors stuff themselves with chicken wings.

    Kobayashi claimed a $20,000 cash prize.

    What do you think?

    How do you like your wings on Super Bowl Sunday?

      Did anyone else notice the scarcity of Pigeons in the surrounding neighborhood?

      Wow, what a way to make a living. However, he's very good at what he does. He usually beats the Americans in the eating contests he enters...I guess on some level Americans should be embarrassed that a skinny Japanese guy is beating us at eating, something we do better than people in most parts of the world.

      That $20k can go towards the medical expenses he will be sure to rack up as time goes on!

      It's like that old line from the Doors song "Backdoor Man." " I eat more chicken than you've ever seen."

      I weigh about 240 lbs and could only eat about 25 wings I would imagine ! I'll be trying to eat as many as I can SUPER SUNDAY ! I found the best recipe on "best chicken wind recipes", it's called "Charliam's" wings ! Look it up for the crispiest BAKED wings you ever tried ! PURR-FECT !

      it is always nice when "journalists" give you a little frame-of-reference, like how many did #2 eat? it's like whe somebody breaks a record, and they don't tell you the old record or who held it. to sports enthusiasts, this is extremely relevent.

        "He demolished the record of 255 (previous record) set last year by Jonathan "Super" Squibb (and held by this guy)"

        Right in the story there Jason
      • Jessica 3 mths ago
        Think he was saying they should've also put how many second place ate as well, as the main point..
    • Eric  •  3 mths ago

      • Chuck 3 mths ago
        No, I'm not a chick.
      • hop 3 mths ago
        Made me crave some good hot wings, that's all. I love Lake Charles but it seriously needs a Hooter's. I know, not the best wings in the world.....sometimes it's all about the presentation.
      • Ryan 3 mths ago
        yeah, like totally. I like totally puked
    • Damon  •  Portland, Maine  •  3 mths ago
      337 wings x 20 wings per pound = 17 lbs wings = flaming #2. That is some rectum-scorching math.
    • Macx  •  Las Vegas, Nevada  •  3 mths ago
      And this is is important to society HOW?
    • ChrisR  •  3 mths ago
      This was a shamefur dispray
    • another victim  •  3 mths ago
      Send oprah now. only the human toilet can take the crown
    • burned_once  •  3 mths ago
      I wonder how long before China creates a state sponsored team to dominate this event. Can imagine the hell that the 6 year olds selected for training would go through.

      What a disgustingly glutenous sport. Complete waste of food. When there are millions of people in this world that go hungry everyday, we celebrate some Japanese clown who scarfs down more wings in 30 minutes than what most civilized people eat in 5 years. Don't support childish behavior like this.
