Foley has long been a fan favorite at the annual event, which began in 1993\. But this time around, he said he didn’t want to overstuff himself and get sick. “I didn’t want that to be my legacy,” Foley told the AP. “So I stretched the rules. I thought people would appreciate that, right here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!” And for the record, the winner downed a record 444 wings in 26 minutes. God Bless America.
