Back in May, Alex competed in a local wing eating competition at Legend Larry’s.  When he first mentioned entering this competition I figured it would be a win/win situation.  He would be out of the house for a few hours and get to eat for free and I would be able to enjoy some quiet time at home and get some work done.

In the end, it was definitely more of a win/win situation then I thought it would be.

Here he is in the local competition.

That day, the Alex polished off 2.58lbs of medium chicken wings in 10 minutes AND he won the local competition. Winning the local competition earned him a $50 gift card to Legend Larry’s and a spot to compete at the championship competition.  

This past weekend, we packed up the family minivan and made our way to the Legend Larry’s in Sheboygan Falls for the big championship competition.

It was the Alex vs 5 other guys who had one at the other Legend Larry’s restaurants and the bars that use the LL’s sauce on their wings.  Not only did we get to make the way to Sheboygan Falls for the competition but Legend Larry’s also put us up at the beautiful Blue Harbor Resort for the night (but that’s a whole other post).

Here’s Alex competing at the championship.

Yes, he won….again!

This time around he won $300 and gets to have his name on the giant trophy.  It was pretty amazing to watch him compete and even though he didn’t win enough money for us to stop at the Sheboygan Chrysler Dealership and buy a new van, it was more than enough for us to have some fun and leave some in the bank.

All in all, we had a great time at the competition and the hotel and enjoyed getting away from home for a bit!
