(CNN) -- The 2010 U. S. Chicken Wing Eating champ is no hot dog -- not this year anyway.
Diminutive Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas set a world record in winning the Buffalo, New York-competition Sunday for the fourth year in a row by downing 181 wings, or 4.86 pounds, in 12 minutes.
Her victory came at the expense of Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, the winner of the last four Nathan's Hot Dog Eating competitions at Coney Island, New York, who was able to put away 4.61 pounds.
