Have you ever won a food contest or came close to winning?

Years back I attempted a wing challenge and I came in second place , I ate 68 wings , I was in my early 20’s at the time , now that I am in my 40’s , I can barely finish my plate. Have you ever entered a food challenge and won or came
Close? What did you have to eat?

I used to work real hard and burn massive amounts of calories. I used to be able to eat a whole 24" pizza no problem. I should have entered a contest then.

There is a pizza place in New Jersey I think it’s called 3 brothers’ pizza , on the Ocean City NJ boardwalk that had a sign that said if you can eat 3 of their large pizzas under 1 hour , they would give you free pizza for 3 years. I would of tempted it , if I still lived in Mew Jersey at the time , but I was just visiting there , but if I still lived there , I would be all about it and made it worth my while lol

I won a cake walk once when I was maybe 6 or 7. I was so excited!

Ah, food contests! Brings back some spicy memories. Yes, I once dove headfirst into a giant sushi roll challenge. The goal was to finish an outrageously huge sushi roll, about the size of a small child, in under 30 minutes. I rolled up my sleeves and managed to take down the monster with seconds to spare. Winning was sweet, but the aftermath? Let's just say I didn't look at sushi the same way for a while. 🍣😅 Your wing challenge sounds legendary though! 68 wings is no small feat. I can relate to the changing appetite as we get older. These days, I'm more about savoring the flavors rather than quantity. 🤷‍♂️🍴

I've won a chili cookoff. Not exactly the same thing.

I ate a giant burrito at a local Mexican restaurant, and won a free t-shirt. The shirt reads, "I Conquered El Gigante."

Came second in a cake contest when I was in the boy scouts about a thousand years ago...
