PHILADELPHIA - A 22-year-old from San Jose, Calif., won Wing Bowl on Friday by setting a new record at the annual chicken wing-eating contest. Joey Chestnut ate 173 wings to take the title and top prize, a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara.
As usual, the 14th annual Wing Bowl was replete with thousands of beer-crazed fans, piles of saucy wings, dozens of scantily clad "Wingettes" — many of them strippers — and several sickened contestants.
This year's version of the contest, sponsored by sports-talk station WIP-AM, included only competitors who had never before competed in Wing Bowl.
Chestnut qualified for the sold-out event by downing a gallon of milk in 41 seconds.

He's lucky Sonya Thomas wasn't a contestant.

Bones included?
Momma don't let your daughters grow up to be Wingettes
Burp
Is this about wings or breasts?
Good call. .....those are frightening broads.
Joey is a Chest nut.
You really have to admire the man's concentration to focus on chicken wings when there would be another part of the chicken I'd be thinking about.
I meant the gizzard, of course. ;P
