chomped, they chowed, they chewed. Wings disappeared and, in two competitors’ cases, reappeared, but it was 5-foot-7, 125-pound mother-of-four pulled off ‘the greatest performance in Wing Bowl history,’
Molly Schuyler devoured 363 chicken wings in 30 minutes at a competitive eating contest in Philadelphia.
Ms. Schuyler flew past the previous long-standing record of 337 wings as she finished the last round of the 22nd annual WIP 94 Sportsradio Wing Bowl.
At 8 a.m. the 120-pound woman virtually swallowed the wings for her breakfast as second-place finisher Patrick Bertoletti from Chicago could only chomp home in second place with a total of 356 wing.
Ms. Schuyler, whose performance host Angelo Cataldi dubbed ‘the greatest ever’, won $22,000.
Each year, Wing Bowl brings out some of the region’s best competitive eaters, who themselves have to prove their worth to qualify for the event by performing a miraculous feat of eating.
To qualify for the Wing Bowl, Schuyler ate nine pounds of cottage cheese in 114 seconds. She also holds a world record for eating a 72-ounce steak in less than three minutes.
All Pro Eating, the world’s only independent competitive eating organization, lists her as the world’s number one female.
