CHESTNUT DEFENDS BUFFALO WING TITLE!

Order was restored to the universe at the 2017 U.S. National Buffalo Wing Eating Championship, when Joey Chestnut ate 220 wings in 12 minutes for the win.

There is no greater wing eater in the history of the world than Chestnut. At this event, he once again proved the fact with a relentless display of technique, hand speed and human will. He would not fall today. He did not fall today. That he ate 37 more wings than the next highest finisher, Gideon Oji, says everything you need to know about the performance by the Great One.

Carmen Cincotti proved that he is adept in the wing discipline in his MLE wing debut, eating 181 wings in 12 minutes. Once imagines that number heading north as The Mutiny becomes more experienced in this technique-dominant discipline. Geoffrey Esper could not back up his Saturday Buffalo Buffet Bowl win with another podium finish; his fourth place was secured with 176 wings. Others ate less, but all distinguished themselves.
