Center City Square on Saturday, October 7, 2023 –
At high noon on Saturday the East Texas Poultry Festival held a hot wing eating contest, sponsored by McWilliams Air Conditioning Company. The contest saw five participants gave their best effort at taking the trophy as the last man standing as each plate of wings became progressively hotter. The spicy sauces included jalapeno, habanero, ghost chilies, Trinidad scorpion, Carolina reaper and chocolate peppers.
Matthew Kay proved to be the last man standing and took the trophy, a cash prize, a gift basket, as well as, the top title and bragging rights. All witnesses who were present will likely attest to the fact that he, indeed earned it all: “the hard way.”
