The leading ladies of competitive eating topped the field at the 2015 Hooters World Chicken Wing Eating Contest. @eatingcontest

On the eve of the @TrentonThunder World Case’s Pork Roll Eating Championship, we present a recap of the historic @JoeyJaws and Carmen Cincotti showdown.

Prior to the world chicken wing eating championship at Buffalo Wingfest, George (known in rap circles as “Lil Bougie”) and @BadlandsBooker practice their hit “Equals One” about New York City’s enduring appeal.

The Houdini of Cuisini. On 5/4/2004, @crazylegsconti was buried alive under 60 cubic feet of popcorn, and he ate his way out to survival. It was considered the most dangerous stunt since Houdini was thrown into a river in chains.

Congratulations to James Webb, the champion of this year’s National Buffalo Wing Eating Contest, clearing 263 wings in 12 mins. Gideon Oji followed with 197 wings & Nick Wehry with 191.

James Webb wins Buffalo Wingfest wing eating contest with 263 wings in 12 mins. Gideon Oji second with 197; Nick Wehry third with 191.

News alert: I am trailing Ric Flair on the cameo fantasy football league draft announcement leader board. This is good news and bad news. Bad because I am trailing Ric Flair; good news because I am close to Ric Flair.

Congrats to the champs: @OMGitsMIKI and @joeyjaws—and, of course, to @originalnathans.

Appreciate @gcshea for the invite to witness first hand the ultimate competitive eating spectacular & a 4th of July tradition. Great to see friends & regular guests of the show @OMGitsMIKI @JeremySchaap @BadlandsBooker #NathansFamousHotDogEatingContest TCMartinShow.com
