Battle of the Bone 3 – Only at the Native New Yorker

If you want to qualify for the Native New Yorker Battle of the Bone Wing Eating Contest Finale and earn a shot at either the Harley from Chandler Harley-Davidson or the Arizona Diamondbacks season tickets, you might want to consider training by eating seedless watermelon.  Winner Gus Beisel ate slices of watermelon each morning for a week leading up to tonight’s battle at Signal Butte.  Beisel ate an entire watermelon this morning to prepare for the evening’s contest.  He plowed down over 2lbs 13 ounces, while runner up Paul Valasco (only had a strawberry Slimfast drink all day) ate 2lbs 10 ounces.

Special thanks to all of the participants and fans who came out to the Native New Yorker in Mesa.

Final results and photos to follow. Next week Laveen.

Note on our weekly results: Nutritiondata.com states that one whole chicken wing (both the paddle and the drumstick portion of the chicken wing) weigh on average 1 oz.  Thus providing us with the figure that each wing portion (the drumstick and the paddle) each weigh a half an ounce.  So, when it is stated that a contestant has eaten 57 wings, they have eaten the weight that is the equivalent of 57 wings.  In actuality they have eaten more than 57 wings, but the actually weight of the meat they have eaten is equivalent to the weight of 57 whole wings.
