A rotisserie chicken-eating contest took place in Brooklyn, attracting nearly twenty contestants and a significant audience. Organized by the Old Jewish Men of New York, the contest featured Costco rotisserie chickens priced at $4.99. The event was inspired by a growing enthusiasm for rotisserie chicken, leading to its street celebration. Contestants, including local personalities, competed vigorously, with Robert McGee ultimately winning the title, a golden trophy, and a cash prize. Sponsors included Quellix and Petco, enhancing the event's engagement within the community and local businesses.
"It's the meat of the people, it's great because you can get it for $5," Noah Rinsky, the organizer, stated, highlighting the popularity of rotisserie chickens.
"There seems to be kind of a rotisserie chicken fandom in general: we've been making all these videos online, and people love rotisseries," Rinsky explained about the contest's origin.
"At Costco, it's five bucks: it's an excellent price. People don't realize a rotisserie chicken can serve your whole family," David Roffe noted.
After a grueling six minutes and 44 seconds of gullet-cramming, Robert McGee was crowned the contest champ - winning a golden chicken trophy, $500 dollars.
