Joey Chestnut to seek wing king crown

Buffalo National Chicken Wing Festival

After being knocked from his throne as the champion in this year's Nathan's 4th of July Hot Dog Eating contest, Joey Chestnut will seek another crown in Buffalo.

Chestnut takes on the National Buffalo Wing-Eating Championship at this weekend's Buffalo Wing Festival. He will challenge this year's female winner of the hot-dog eating contest, Miki Sudo, as well as Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas.

The wing-eating championship takes place Sunday at 5 p.m. at Coca-Cola Field in downtown Buffalo.

Avery began his broadcasting career as a disc jockey for WRUB, the University at Buffalo’s student-run radio station.
