Move Over Takeru Kobayashi, Sonya Thomas is New Buffalo Wing Eating Champion

The "Black Widow" Sonya Thomas, weighing in at just 105-pounds ate about 5% of her body weight – 173 wings in 12 minutes to win the wing-eating contest at the National Buffalo Wing Festival.

And, I didn't even know that buffalos had wings, did you?

The 40-year old Thomas is originally from South Korea.

Why is that some Asians can eat so much despite their size?

I can just look at a menu and gain weight.

Thomas has set numerous records in competitive eating events, including 37 hot dogs in 12 minutes; 35 bratwursts in 10 minutes; 11 pounds of cheesecake in 9 minutes; 44 lobsters in 12 minutes; and 250 Tater Tots in 5 minutes.

To be overall champ….Sonya will have to beat out reigning champ, Joey Chestnut who recently defeated Japanese champ, Takeru Kobayashi.

Chestnut has eaten 7.5 lbs, about 50% more than Thomas did in his 12 minute try.

How many wings can you down in 12 minutes?
