A 22-year-old from San Jose, Calif., won Wing Bowl on Friday by setting a new
record at the annual chicken wing-eating contest. Joey Chestnut ate 173 wings to
take the title and top prize, a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara.

As usual, the 14th annual Wing Bowl was replete with thousands of beer-crazed
fans, piles of saucy wings, dozens of scantily clad "Wingettes" — many of them
strippers — and several sickened contestants.
This year's version of the contest, sponsored by sports-talk station WIP-AM,
included only competitors who had never before competed in Wing Bowl.
Chestnut qualified for the sold-out event by downing a gallon of milk in 41
seconds.
