Gluttony and charity will share the stage at the Shank Bowl.

 

After Wednesday night there will be more than one wing-eating champ in Philly.

Wednesday night the Jewish National Fund will crown two wing-eating champions at the first-ever "Shank Bowl."

What's the Shank Bowl?

"Think Passover-style Wing Bowl," said Rachel Baum with JNF.

The charity event will feature plenty of kosher (of course) wings from Max and David's Kosher Restaurant in Elkins Park, Pa. and drinks from Cicione Beverage in South Philly.

To keep things fair there will be a separate men's and women's champion crowned. Whoever eats the most wings will go home with not only the title of Shank Bowl Champion but also a grand prize of $118.

Entry to the eating competition is closed but that doesn't mean you can't join in the fun.

The event will also feature free beer and raffles for those not participating.

The event costs $10 to get in with proceeds going to JNF's Operation Security Blanket: Southern Israel. The money raised will help improve the lives of the residents of the Israeli town of Sderot, a Gaza border town.

Think of it as a way to eat your way to a mitzvah, said JNF. (A mitzvah is a good deed in Judaism.)

Here are all the details:
When: Wednesday March 25 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Where: 2100 Arch Street, Center City, Philadelphia
