Yardbird Ale House Death Sentence Wing Challenge Championship, Fortitude Valley – 8pm Saturday 8 December 2012 Results

Results

The time had come. The finalists were ready. The crowd was large and pumped. Who would be first to be crowned, “The Lord of the Wings” and have the honour of holding aloft the prized “Golden Chicken” trophy.

The finalists were ready, they were:

  • Jared “Jihad” Martin – Winner of round 1 with a record setting 39 wings.
  • Rhys “The Squeeze” Endres – Second place in round 2 with 36 wings
  • Tristan “The Wing Wizard” Want – Third place in round 2 with 32 wings
  • Colin “The Conqueror” MacLaurin – First place in round 3 with 29 wings
  • Cameron “Latearama” Jukes – Second place in round 3 with 26 wings

A slightly different format greeted our finalists, each being presented with a silver platter of 39 wings, the current Yardbird Ale House Wing Challenge record, ready for them to be devoured by our brave wing warriors.

Once the guests were seated and the wings presented, contestants and the crowd alike were taken aback by the fumes emanating from their wing platters. The heat of this sauce was unprecedented. Even though the recipe was the same, the heat from the wings fresh from the fryer caused the sauce to steam, wafting throughout the arena and striking fear into those who were about to compete.

As always, everyone started out strong. It takes some minutes before the heat of the wings creep up on the contestants, and once it does, they all become vocal describing the pain that they’re in. Rhys began firing verbal obscenities at the judge almost immediately, at one point saying that he “hated him so much right now”. Even having his brow mopped by his beautiful female assistant wasn’t enough to quell the pain that was the Death Sentence Wing Sauce.

As time progressed, a lead started to form, with the reigning record holder pulling away from the pack quickly. Others slowed, hit hard by the heat coming from the Death Sentence sauce.

Nearing the end of the competition, Tristan “The Wing Wizard” want rose from his seat, determined to catch up to Jared in a last ditch attempt to take the title. Third place was being battled out closely between Cameron “Latearama” Jukes and Colin “The Conqueror” MacLaurin. Rhys “The Squeeze” Endres lagged behind, clearly thrown by the heat.

In the end, there could only be one winner. And that winner would be none other than the current record holder Jared “Jihad” Martin!

First Place: Jared “Jihad” Martin – 33 Wings, winning $100 bar tab, a bottle of Single Barrel Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, and being the first person to hold aloft the Golden Chicken trophy!

Second Place: Tristan “The Wing Wizard” Want – 30 Wings, winning $50 bar tab

Third Place: Colin “The Conqueror” MacLaurin and Cameron “Latearama” Jukes, tied with 27 wings each, winning $25 bar tab each.

The World’s Hottest Burger Mega Death Challenge – Sunday 2 December 2012 Results

Results

12 competitors battled it out for the $500 first prize, in what was to be an extremely hot day for all involved, not just from the burger but from the blistering heat of the day!

Once seated, eaters were given a brief explanation of the rules, the most notable being that the burger could not be pulled apart. You were allowed to cut the burger into halves, but no pulling apart the bun or salad. Soon afterwards, a casual “and we’re away”, and everyone commenced the competition.

A few of the contestants bowed out early, unable to cope with the unbelievable heat stored in the Megadeath burgers served up by the famous diner. The chilli infused meat, the buns smothered in Blairs Mega Death sauce, the mountains of onions. All of this added up to what would be a painful experience for all.

Daniel took the lead early, with eaters beside him realising they had no chance of winning, asking what the prize for second place would be. No doubt considering throwing in the towel!

In a record 5:45, Daniel Mercer takes out first place.

In what seemed like an eternity, second place was won by Sam in 8:33, and a closely fought 3rd place won by Skip.

Only a few mouthfuls behind, 4th place was taken by Colin “The Conqueror” MacLaurin.

In a true act of defiance, one competitor stayed behind, determined to finish the burger, and did!

Piefection Chilli Pie Eating Contest, Mt Gravatt – 2pm Saturday 24 November 2012 Results

Close up!Results:

The inaugural Piefection Chilli Pie Eating Contest saw 12 contestants battle it out, eating 10 of their scorching chilli pies as fast as possible. The rules were simple. No drinks, eat 10 pies as fast as you can, winner gets the glory!

These pies were certainly spicy! Laced with birds eye chillies, the heat started slow but crept up on you. For a normal eater, you’d get about half way through these mini hot pies, and your eyes would start to water severely!

While they may have been small, the heat certainly made up for the lack of volume!

Starting strong, Daniel Mercer dashed ahead of the field, while other eaters seemed shocked at the rate the pies on his plate were disappearing. 2 pies in, certain in their defeat, Cam and Alex reach for their glasses of milk, a sign of surrender and instant disqualification.

Dillon put up a brave fight, eating a considerable number in the short time, but in 3:22, Daniel had already taken first place, and the others put down their spicy little pies, almost all reaching soon after for creamy relief.
