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. The event pits competitive eaters in a chicken wing eating contest. The Wing Bowl is traditionally held on the Friday preceding the Super Bowl.
It is currently held at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center, where it is still broadcast live on WIP. There are currently no television deals to broadcast the event live; however, a replay is usually shown on WPSG, Comcast SportsNet, or one of the other local stations within the following week. The Wing Bowl now draws crowds of 20,000 or more.
For the first time ever, Wing Bowl 18 will focus on the biggest reason for its success — women. Snooki of the TV phenomenon Jersey Shore will be our special guest, Miss Wing Bowl Jennifer Burmeister will embark on her final ride around the arena before her Hall of Fame induction, and a record 100 Wingettes will be there to count the wings.
Adding to the drama will be local hero Jonathan Squibb trying to defend his title against 28 gluttons. Together you’ve got the most spectacular Wing Bowl ever,” said WIP morning personality Angelo Cataldi, who co-founded Wing Bowl with radio partner Al Morganti.
