ESPER SETS NEW HOOTERS WORLD WING-EATING RECORD!
Great news, Major League Eating universe. The Hooters World Wing Eating Championship returns to our 2019 calendar of sanctioned eating championships. Major League Eaters are warmly encouraged to sign up for a chance to compete in this legendary event and its hefty $10,000 prize purse.
At the 2017 edition of the championship, Geoffrey Esper took first place with a total of 250 Hooters wings in 10 minutes. That tally stands as a Hooters wing-eating record, besting the previous Hooters wing total of 241, set by Matthew Stonie in 2015 in Clearwater, FL. No man or woman has ever eaten more Hooters wings.
