Summertime is nearly over, friends. The kids have their new backpacks, their TI calculators, their fresh sets of colored pencils; the public pools are slowly being drained of chlorine and pee; the barbecues’ flames are all but extinguished.
Summertime is also the season for that treasured all-American sport, overeating (see also: Thanksgiving, et al). So as the summer winds down, it is with a trembling lip and a wistful look in my eye that I report (with the help of the AP) that semi-celebrity Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas defeated that insufferable Joey Chestnut at the 10th Annual National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, New York yesterday.
Sonya Thomas made headlines this July, too, when she won the first-ever Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest for ladies. There, Joey Chestnut won the men’s division—formerly known as “The Whole Contest”—for only the fifth time in a row.
Sonya Thomas smoked the competition at this year’s Buffalo Wing event, devouring 183 wings to Chestnut’s 174. She beat him last year, too, when she ate 181 wings. The entire event lasts 12 whole minutes; Chestnut came in second place both years.
Thomas, easily the reigning lady-champ of the competitive eating world, first set the women’s hot dog eating record in 2003, with 25 hot dogs. In 2009, she finished the annual Nathan’s Contest with 41. She weighs 100 pounds.
