Out of 30 people, I placed 11th. They were taking the top 10 to the next round. I ate 30 wings in 8 minutes. Missed going to the 2nd round by 3 wings. And here's why....
Official Rules of this particular contest posted on their website:
We were not shown or told anything. While I was eating, I would see a bone that still had meat on it in my bowl, so I picked it up and ate it. I did this several times. Had I not done that, and ate just as much as everyone else, I would have easily ate over 40 wings. At the end, they counted them all, no matter what.
But, I know I ate what I was suppose to. Most everyone else didn't eat all of the meat off the bone. Had I known ahead of time that this would be acceptable, I would have done the same just to get the most down.
Oh well. It's over and done. It is what it is. I know better for next time.
