When it comes to eating competitions, there is no one as successful as Korean American Sonya“Black Widow” Thomas. In July, Thomas amazed people by scarfing down 40 hot dogs in 10 minutes at Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, and more recently, she reigned victorious in yet another annual food competition in Buffalo, NY: The National Buffalo Wings Festival.
This past Sunday, the “Black Widow” took on heavyweights like Joey “Jaws” Chestnut but still came on top (and set a world record!) by eating 183 wings in a shocking 12 minutes. In an interview after her glorious win, Thomas shared that, since she competes with mostly guys, she goes into every competition determined to beat these men and break their records.
How such a petite woman weighing in at only a 100 pounds can consume all this food, is the question on everyone’s mind, but, as the cliché goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover because, when it comes to eating food, Sonya Thomas is unstoppable.
