Wing Bowl was a Philadelphia staple- a food eating contest that would up being about so much more than just chicken wings. Thankfully there is a new documentary, *No One Died: The Wing Bowl Story,* to explain to the folks outside of the state just what a unique event it was. We sat down with Pat Taggart, the film's director for more the whole story. The film is now available to purchase or rent on Amazon, Youtube or AppleTV.

Why is recorded in front of a live studio audience?

Luke PolingHost

0:04

We were the worst.

Luke PolingHost

0:05

Like, you'd undo your tie a little bit, and that was like, okay, we're tough now.

Heidi HedquistHost

0:08

Of course.

Heidi HedquistHost

0:10

Why didn't you play Angus Young it?

Luke PolingHost

0:13

You know...

Heidi HedquistHost

0:15

Not punk, but very rock and roll.

Luke PolingHost

0:18

Right.

Luke PolingHost

0:19

In retrospect, that would have been the way to go.

Luke PolingHost

0:21

No,

Heidi HedquistHost

0:22

it's okay.

Heidi HedquistHost

The

Luke PolingHost

0:22

kind of Max Fisher of it all.

Luke PolingHost

0:25

We didn't have a school cap.

Luke PolingHost

0:26

That might have been part of the problem.

Heidi HedquistHost

0:28

You had a school cap?

Luke PolingHost

0:29

We didn't.

Heidi HedquistHost

0:30

Oh.

Luke PolingHost

0:32

And it was just, you had to wear a coat and tie.

Luke PolingHost

0:33

You didn't have to wear the same coat and the same tie and the same shirt as everyone else.

Luke PolingHost

0:38

It wasn't more like a, again, you're Yangus Youngs.

Luke PolingHost

0:41

I didn't have to wear a crushed red velvet suit.

Heidi HedquistHost

0:44

I'm literally counting the days till I can dig out my friend's cricket cap he gave me years ago and rock, and my Doc Martens, some little long shorts and rock out.

Heidi HedquistHost

And your

dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
