  • I’ve been invited to attend this year’s Wing Bowl on February 1 in Philly. I’ve been warned that it’s “like the craziest frat party you’ve ever been to.” But if it has to do with food… I’ll be there.

    In doing research for the event I came across this link showing video clips of potential “wingettes” (huh?) and crazy food challenges like eating (man vs. dog eating 5lbs of hamburger).

    Check it out for yourself. Strong stomachs only.
