same here, but i used to be able to sit and eat over 50 after a bar night. now that im a homebody and hanging with the kidlings, ill eat about 20 before i stop and save for later. i bet i could still get 50 down if i tried, i just dont really want to stuff myself like that anymore.

Easy way to do it is take the wings in two hands. Twist to break the bones apart. Then pull one of the bones out. The meat will slide right off the other bone and into your mouth. mmmmmmm....

That's what I do. Pull one bone out, stick it in my mouth and suck the meat off it. :)

During the NFL draft a few friends and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch. I had 1/2lb of shrimp and a few wings when they had a contest, who could eat 6 blazin' (hottest they have) wings the fastest. I went up with 4 other contestants and managed to win, the prize was 50 free wings. Their hottest wings are pretty hot, but not overwhelming. They did effect me the next day on the toilet though. :(

There used to be a place near Milwuakee somewhere that had $.10 wings on Thursdays, I would eat 100 sometimes. They were pretty tiny though.

Depends whether im drinking beer or not.

Beer tends to fill me up, but if im eating wings, im usually drinking beer. If this is the case I can eat about 20.

Without beer, more like 30-35 probably.

How many in a pound? Haven't really been challenged to max out but i did finish off a pound of wings(wasn't feeling hungry so just ordered some wings and thought others were going to pick at them, too. everyone just ate their own dish so i had to finish off the wings myself.)

That works for the wings, but not for the drumstick ones.
if you really want to eat the drumsticks fast, put them in your mouth with the small end first (as opposed to chomping at the bulbous end first). Get it all the way in your mouth, bite down on the end near the fingers (should be the larger side at this point) and pull. this is how you eat the drumstick in one bite. now go and win some bets.

the high school friends and i used to go up there a couple of times a year, usually after wrestling season when some of us could actually eat again 8) all time high was 68.. i didnt eat for an entire day.

Do they still have the all you can eat on tuesdays? I'll be up that way most of next month, I usually stop in there when I'm up there.

How the hell do you manage the blazin? I get hot and after 8 boneless my gut feels like I ate battery acid and not to mention the next day when I have to hit the toilet.

Regular size wings I can eat 40 + easy, without struggling. I never really tested myself on how much I could consume. I go to this new place now and its wings are pretty big, I can eat around 20 ish.

Tuesdays, Jane n Bloor, Dark Horse, Toronto. Half price wings and true German weiss beer, who wants in?

Back in my eating days I used to eat 2 3 piece KFC meals, 1 extra large new yorker pizza from pizza hut, and a bowl of chinese yeong chow special friend rice, all in 1 sitting. This was in high school, I can't believe I used to eat more back then then I can eat now.

You must be a total fatass. :p Or a skinny kid in high school, one or the other. Or a pot smoker.

Never tried maxing out, can do 20 easily along with pitchers of beer. I'd venture to say my max is prob 40...I eat 5-6 small meals a day and my stomach can't hold that much anymore.

I've always liked hot, spicey foods. Though, now that I'm geting old (going to be 30 this year... egads!) my body doesn't like the spicey stuff nearly as much. Blazin' wings are hot, don't get me wrong, but I've had much more spicey things. I think the hottest thing I ever ate was a nacho with about a dime sized drop of The Final Answer: Da Bomb hot sauce on it.
