This upcoming Tuesday, a group of brave souls will gather to complete The Second Iteration of the BWW Gauntlet Challenge.
The event is free and open to those in the Portland/Vancouver area in my social circle…I’m just announcing it here so the rest of you can pray for us as we partake in a redux of the earlier event of sheer idiocy.
For those wishing to join, we will be meeting at the BWW in downtown Portland at 3rd and Morrison. We’re meeting at 7 because that’s when parking is free on downtown streets.
So here’s how it’s done:
- There are fourteen (14) flavors of wings available on the Buffalo Wild Wings menu. In order to defeat the Gauntlet, one must successfully ingest one of each flavor.
- The wings will be passed around one by one, from person to person, from mildest to wildest. A Moderator will be selected to signal the start time for eating each wing. Eat as a group to ensure everyone ingests each wing and no one cheats.
- There is no time requirement for the first seven wings; however, from Asian Zing to Blazin’, each participant is REQUIRED to spend ONE FULL MINUTE on each wing, no less. Any time spent on a wing of less than a minute results in disqualification from the Gauntlet.
- Participants may call for a break in between each wing in order to take a drink or partake of celery and ranch. However, once everyone is ready for the next wing, the next round begins.
- Upon completion of the Blazin’ wing, each participant is a certified Village Idiot.
- FYI, the restrooms at BWW are small. I suggest running across the street to the top level of Pioneer Place and using the ones at the theatre should an emergency arise. If last time was any indication, we may have to dial 911 at some point.
That’s about it. We’re gonna have some fun. Photos of the event will be shot and uploaded.
“There is no time requirement for the first seven wings; however, from Asian Zing to Blazin’, each participant is REQUIRED to spend ONE FULL MINUTE on each wing, no less. Any time spent on a wing of less than a minute results in disqualification from the Gauntlet.”
I don’t understand this rule. I suspect the purpose is extract the maximum amount of discomfort while ingesting hot wings.
I wonder if the wing section a participant receives will make a difference in how long it takes to eat it?
My method of eating wings depends on the piece. I ‘mini drumsticks’ I eat like one would eat a drum stick.
The portion with two bones goes into the mouth all at once and the bones are pulled out through the teeth. The eating process of this section takes less time than it takes to read this.
If I had to spend an entire minute eating a ‘two bone’ wing— I don’t think I could do it. Unless I nibbled for 45 seconds and then ingested the whole think.
I reference my comment of October 22, 2009.

Buffalo wings should be enjoyed and slowly savored. But if your gonna be a masochist, why not make it really interesting.
Contestants should play Celine Dion’s greatest hits on their ipods while eating buffalo wings. Yeah.
Celine Dion ? torture
The question mark was supposed to be a greater than or equal to sign. Oops.
Mireya you just made me so sad. Chris knows I adore Celine, I wish she would sing for the Lord that would be the best ever!
