Wing Bowl 18 Goes Down In Philly - Super Squibb Crowned Victor

The defending champion returned to WIP’s Wing Bowl 18 and devoured the competition. Jonathan “Super” Squibb, the skinny 24-year-old from Winslow Township, N.J., ate 238 wings in 30 minutes to set up a wing-off next year with three-time champion, Joey Chestnut of San Jose, Calif., a professional eater. Squibb won a Ford F-150 pickup truck and a ring for his gastronomic efforts.

Wing Bowl is an annual eating contest founded in 1993 by Philadelphia talk-radio hosts Al Morganti and Angelo Cataldi as a celebration of gluttony. 20,000 fans, competitors and a host of  scantily clad 'Wingettes' take part in the 'weighty' competition.
