A whole city gathered to celebrate a man who ate an entire rotisserie chicken for 40 days straight. Alexander Tominsky, dubbed "The Philadelphia Chicken Man", polished off his final meal of the challenge surrounded by an energetic crowd chanting "eat that bird".
The US city, which had just lost both the World Series in baseball and the Major League Soccer Cup in the space of five hours, desperately needed an occasion to life its spirits. Tominsky then invited his supporters to witness his last chicken feast at an abandoned pier near Walmart, with people turning out in their droves.
The foodie, who had documented his journey with daily selfies on Twitter, celebrated with the crowd after completing the dish - which even included one supporter dressed in full chicken costume, the Daily Star reports.
