Tiger Wings & Things bites

David âTiger Wings & Thingsâ Brunelli ate nine burgers and buns in P.Y.T.'s first-ever Burgerdelphia showdown this past Saturday, May 1. The competitor donned a green Masters-style jacket (embroidered with âTiger Wingsâ) inside the restaurant as he mentally prepared, then shed his cape to take the stage for some serious mastication. Rarely glancing at his opponents, he employed water-dipping and head-bobbing maneuvers while chewing for a solid 5 minutes to get it all down. Brunelli is the grand prize winner of $250 cash, a $100 gift certificate to P.Y.T. and the coveted Burgerdelphia trophy. No stranger to gluttonous competition, Brunelli also participated in Wing Bowl XVIII this past January.

What an awesome picture. The expressions of his cheerleaders/onlookers are amazing.
