Who was the last champion of Philadelphia's Wing Bowl?

Molly Schuyler was the last champion of Philadelphia’s Wing Bowl.

She won Wing Bowl XXVI on February 2, 2018, eating 501 wings. That total was an event record and surpassed her own previous mark. The competition was held at Lincoln Financial Field and was the final edition of the long-running eating contest.

Schuyler had already won Wing Bowl XXII in 2014 and Wing Bowl XXIV in 2016. She also finished second in 2015, when Patrick Bertoletti won with 444 wings, and in 2017, when Bob “Notorious B.O.B.” Shoudt took the title.

Wing Bowl began in 1993 and became a major Philadelphia sports-radio spectacle. Its champions included Bill “El Wingador” Simmons, Joey Chestnut, Takeru Kobayashi, and Patrick Bertoletti. Because the event ended after the 2018 contest, “last champion” refers to the final winner, not simply the most recent winner at the time of an earlier edition.
