Lucky’s and Wings host Eat to Win Contests this Weekend

When you say Extreme Eating Contests, most people envision Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, held each4th of July at Coney Island, in Brooklyn, New York.  ESPN broadcasts this and Joey Chestnut has captured the title six times, most recently by eating 68 hotdogs, buns and all in 12 minutes.

While Dayton hasn’t gotten quite that extreme, we do have our share of eating contests that exist. There’s the E-I-E-I-O challenge from OinkADoodleMoo:

Johnny’s Pizzeria in Centerville offers a Brooklyn Brawler Challenge, has seen a half-dozen two-person teams succeed in polishing off the eight-pound, meat-stuffed pizza within 30 minutes, Voltzy’s has the Bill Clinton Divorce Finale challenge: A 14-pound burger with a half-pound of onions and 20 slices of cheese on a one-pound bun.  Eat it in an hour and Rick Volz pays you a $100, if not you owe $40 for the food.  Quaker Steak & Lube has their Atomic Wing Challenge- eat 6 atomic wings and you’ll get t-shirt and a sticker, but you still have to pay for your wings.  Submarine House has their Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge going on, eat your 16 inch cheesesteak in 16 minutes and it’s free, you’ll get a t-shirt and you’ll qualify for the semi-finals to be held March 24th.

And if you’re in the mood to see how you do at one of these eating challenges there are 2 happening this Saturday:

As part of Wings Sports Bar & Grill‘s 15th birthday celebration they will be hosting the
