Buffalo Wingfest 2010

It's going to be a "David and Goliath" match-up, featuring the diminutive Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas versus Joey "Jaws" Chestnut in the 2010 United States Chicken Wing Eating Championship.
The place to see it is the 9th Annual NATIONAL BUFFALO WING FESTIVAL, which will be held on Labor Day Weekend, SEPTEMBER 4TH & 5TH at Buffalo's Coca-Cola Field.
Thanks to the Pepto-Bismol Challenge, Chestnut will be "winging it" in Buffalo on both Saturday and again on Sunday.
On Saturday, September 4th, he will take on a team of five challengers in a 7 minute eating contest. Those wanting to take on this world-class eater can sign-up from 12-3pm at the Pepto-Bismol booth between Noon and 2:30pm. Five entrants will then be chosen at random to compete. In addition to this contest, Joey Chestnut will also take-on five local media sports celebrities. Based on total wing consumption, a team that defeats him will walk away with bragging rights to the "Pepto Cup" trophy, along with $100 cash and a year's supply of Pepto-Bismol for each member. Fans of Chestnut can also meet him at the Pepto-Bismol booth, where he will talk about his competitive eating techniques.
On Sunday, September 5th, Chestnut will take on twelve professional eaters in the United States Chicken Wing Eating Championship. This "Main Event", which takes place at 3:30pm, includes festival favorite Sonya Thomas. Even though Sonya has dominated the competition by winning the last three years, it remains to be seen if she is good enough to beat Joey, who also has several titles "under his belt", including his recent 4th straight victory in the prestigious Nathan's Hot Dog Eating competition at Coney Island.
