With the College Wing Eating Championships now completed at three Long Island colleges earlier this month, where students battled each other in an excite-wing and captivate-wing throwdown to see who would represent their school at the Second Annual NY Best Wings Festival later this year, the three winners have finally been announced.
Molloy College’s Anthony Pedriata, SUNY Old Westbury’s Jose Gomez, and NYIT’s Tobin George each came out on top, beating out their peers by eating 12 Buffalo Wings from Wing Zone the fastest, and will now advance to the main event going up against last year’s champ from Molloy, Tom Malinowski.
Crowds descended upon the campuses at Molloy College April 9, SUNY Old Westbury May 3, and NYIT May 5 to watch Pedriata, Gomez, and George in an all out wing-frenzy not for the faint-of-stomach.
Going up against some fierce trash talk-wing and strategies from “the typewriter” to “wishboning,” the three titans of chicken put their appetites to the ultimate test and will now advance to New York’s wing mecca for a shot at the title and bragging rights if they’re crowned this year’s champs.
At the College Wing Eating Championship at the New York Best Wings Festival later this year, the winner of the final round will receive a $100 gift certificate to Wing Zone, a special VIP ticket to the NY Best Wings Festival, a first-place trophy for the school to showcase and honor their college champion, and an online feature at BestWingsLI.com and NYBestWingsFestival.com.
As they prepare for the final and ultimate challenge, these three College Wing Eating Champions are now left with the gratify-wing feeling of accomplishment as their road ahead leads to the 2nd Annual NY Best Wings Festival.
