Wing Bowl is an annual event founded by Philadelphia talk-radio hosts Al Morganti and Angelo Cataldi as a celebration of gluttony in 1993. About 150 people attended Wing Bowl I to see a competition between two contestants. The event pits competitive eaters in a buffalo-style chicken wing eating contest. The Wing Bowl is traditionally held on the Friday preceding the Super Bowl. The event, which began as a radio promotion, has grown to encompass television, the Internet, and a contest for women who are termed "the Wingettes." It is currently held at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia while the event is broadcast live on WIP (AM). There are currently no television deals to broadcast video of the event live; however, a replay of the event is usually broadcast on WPSG, Comcast SportsNet, or one of the other local Philadelphia affiliates, as well as ESPN or ESPN 2, within the following month. The Wing Bowl now routinely draws crowds of 20,000 or more.//Wing Bowl was the brainchild of Al Morganti, who came up with the idea when it became apparent the Philadelphia Eagles were not going to make the Super Bowl anytime soon. The first Wing Bowl was held in the lobby of the Wyndham Franklin Plaza Hotel in Center City. Carmen Codero walked away with the inaugural title, receiving a wok as his prize.Since its inception, media coverage has grown to the point where every one of the major Philadelphia television stations has covered the event. The ABC, CBS and Fox affiliates all aired live reports from the event during their morning news. Features on the event have appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News as well as a host of newspapers in the surrounding counties. The event has been featured on ESPN and the syndicated television shows Reel TV and The Montel Williams Show. Segments on Wing Bowl have appeared on TV newscasts in cities throughout the country. Several Wing Bowl contestants, including "El Wingador," even competed in Fox's "Glutton Bowl" in the spring of 2002. This year's Wing Bowl was carried on Comcast Cable's IN DEMAND channel.Former Philadelphia Mayor and current Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell has attended and presented the winner with a "Liberty Bell" trophy at Wing Bowls II, III, IV and VI. Other dignitaries who have appeared include former heavyweight boxer Randall "Tex" Cobb, former 76ers President Pat Croce, former Philles manager Larry Bowa, U.S. Senator Arlen Specter and others. Major league umpire Eric Gregg served as the "Commissioner" of Wing Bowl from its second year until his death from a stroke on June 5, 2006
