Some of the biggest names in competitive eating are headed to Buffalo 👀🍗

Here’s a first look at just SOME of the eaters taking on the Wing It On! USA Chicken Wing Eating Championship this weekend at the 25th Anniversary National Buffalo Wing Festival!

Reigning champ James Webb returns after sweeping BOTH contests at last year’s festival. Can Webby defend his wing title, or will someone take him down?

And remember: this is only ONE of two Major League Eating competitions going down in Buffalo this weekend. Buffet Bowl lineup dropping soon.

A throwback to 2004, when the National Buffalo Wing Festival was just getting started. 🍗 Now, more than two decades later, we’re TWO WEEKS away from celebrating its 25th anniversary! 🔥

Major League Eating is bringing TWO contests to Sahlen Field for the milestone weekend:

🍽️ Saturday, August 29: The Buffalo Buffet Bowl returns with a five-pound feast of Buffalo favorites, including boneless wings, beef on weck, pizza and more.

🍗 Sunday, August 30: The Wing It On! USA Chicken Wing Eating Championship gives the world’s top eaters 12 minutes and an endless supply of wings.

Two contests. One legendary weekend. 25 years of tradition.

Buffalo, we’ll see you in TWO WEEKS! 🔥 Wing It On!

Being the unusual item on Mike Golic Sr.‘s bucket list? Safe to say we’re flattered.

Thanks for the mention, New York Post.
