Wing Bowl set to return to its roots
![]() |
This morning on WIP Angelo Cataldi (remember him?) announced that Wing Bowl, Philly’s annual wing-eating contest, will be only open to locals.
Choke on this, Joey Chestnut. (EJB: Zing!)
Wing Bowl, Philadelphia’s annual gluttonfest, the biggest celebration of heavage and cleavage since Rome’s gladiator smackdowns, “the biggest annual promotion in radio in America,” will be a local-amateurs-only event once again, WIP (610 AM) sports yakker Angelo Cataldi proclaimed this morning.
“No pros! We kicked them all out!” he bellowed.
That means you, Chestnut, winner the last three years, and other recent champs Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas (2004 winner) and five-time winner Bill “El Wingador” Simmons.
Heh. Simmons.
Winner gets a new car, a vacation for 12, some bling, and the distinction of being named Wing Bowl Champion. If that is something you would be interested in, get your eating shoes on.
