Overview
The wings are back, the sauce is flowing, and the fans will be out in force! Major League Eating is proud to announce the return of the Ale Emporium Hermanaki Wing Eating Championship, coming to Big Ten Fan Fest.
The Food: Hermanaki Wings Take Flight
There are wings. And then there are Ale Emporium’s legendary Hermanaki Wings. Crispy, juicy and coated in that unmistakable sweet, tangy and savory Hermanaki sauce, these wings pack the kind of flavor that makes you want another bite — even when you probably shouldn’t. For the world’s top competitive eaters, they’re the perfect combination of delicious and daunting. Over ten minutes, the competitors will face an enormous mountain of wings and one simple question: How many can you eat?
A World Record to Chase
Last year’s championship delivered an unforgettable performance when Joey Chestnut devoured 242 Hermanaki Wings in 10 minutes, setting a new world record for the discipline and establishing a staggering benchmark for anyone brave enough to challenge it. The question heading into December 5th is simple: Can anyone eat more? Can Joey break his own record?
Big Ten Energy. Big-Time Appetites.
The Ale Emporium Hermanaki Wing Eating Championship brings together two things Indianapolis does exceptionally well: major sporting events and legendary food. As part of Big Ten Fan Fest, the championship will put some of the biggest names in competitive eating in front of a crowd of passionate sports fans from across the country. With ten minutes on the clock and thousands of wings on the line, the atmosphere promises to be every bit as intense as the competition.
