BUFFALO (New York) - The Black Widow of eating contests has scarfed down 183 chicken wings in 12 minutes to break her own world record set last year in Buffalo, New York.
Ms Sonya Thomas took home first place yesterday at the 10th annual National Buffalo Wings Festival. She beat eating marvel Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, who came in second with 174 wings.
The two won titles at the July Fourth hot dog eating contest on Coney Island.
The 45.36kg Thomas of Alexandria, Virginia, is the reigning wing-eating champion. She downed 181 wings to win the 2010 contest. Chestnut of San Jose, California, settled for second with 169 wings.
The winner gets US$1,500 (S$1,809). The runner-up wins US$750, and third place gets US$300.
Ms Thomas is called the Black Widow becomes she often beats male competitors in eating contests.
at me reading "Black Widow eats 183 chicken wings..." and thinking this was gonna be a slightly racist thread about a black woman who lost her husband and ate vast amounts of chicken to cope with the loss.
