After Downing 179 Wings in 10 Minutes, Joey Chestnut Speaks
Watch more highlights from the 2013 Worldwide Wing-Eating Championship at the Original Hooters in Clearwater.
Joey Chestnut, last year's Worldwide Wing-Eating Championship winner, had some steep competition this time around at the 2013 competition Thursday in Clearwater. The biggest threats to his title came from two women: rookie Miki Sudo and Michelle Lesco, who beat Chestnut in the qualifiers two weeks ago.
Sixteen competitors in total ate their way through pounds of wings in the 10-minute eating race at the Original Hooters. Chestnut won by a landslide, consuming 179 wings, while Sudo took second place with 155.
