Here's the Trailer for the Upcoming Wing Bowl Documentary
Official trailer for the upcoming Wing Bowl documentary, featuring a cameo from Crossing Broad alumnus Anthony SanFilippo, who is writing for a new site called “On Paterson” or “Robert Pattinson” or something like that:
This is the work of a couple of Philly guys in Pat Taggart and Frank Petka.
A hilariously captivating retelling of Philadelphia’s infamous Wing Bowl, spiced with colorful commentary from iconic eaters, organizers, and celebrities, as they recount the event’s wild journey from humble beginnings to an unbelievable spectacle. Featuring legendary tales of eaters like the notorious Wing Bowl villain “Damaging Doug” with his larger-than-life aura, and the shocking moment when Matt “Sloth” Dutton delivered the most artistic vomit in event history, all amid the chaos unleashed by the rowdy, alcohol-fueled audience. Reigning champion “El Wingador” reflects on his moments of glory and the journey to reclaim his title after it was unexpectedly nabbed by the small-but-mighty outsider Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas. No One Died: The Wing Bowl Story is a thrilling look at an electrifying era of trash talk, out-of-control crowds, and mouth-watering wings that took hold of the City of Brotherly Love, birthing a cultural phenomenon that will never be forgotten—from the first bite to the final wing.
NBC 10 has a good writeup on the project with some more information. I only went to Wing Bowl once, but came home with many stories to tell. I saw Coolio perform at a strip club at 9 in the morning and got in a limousine with some Russian guy named Vladimir, which was after a former 94 WIP executive fell asleep in the VIP booth at a different strip club. Good times!
