A Crowd Shows Up to The Chicken Man’s 40-Day Rotisserie Romp PHILLY’S PECK-ULIAR CELEBRATION
The City of Brotherly Love never ceases to amaze us. In 2022, Alexander Tominsky perhaps didn’t expect just how much his city would support him, but Philadelphia did not disappoint. Tominsky, aka The Chicken Man, posted a flyer stating, “COME WATCH ME EAT AN ENTIRE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN,” along with a modest photo collage of him eating the bird. The “official” event description was equally straightforward: “November 6th will be the 40th consecutive day that I have eaten an entire rotisserie chicken 12 o’clock noon The chicken will be consumed on that abandoned pier near Walmart This is not a party.”
A bit odd for sure, but everyone has the right to eat 40 rotisserie chickens and celebrate said poultry at an abandoned pier. Little did The Chicken Man know that this flyer would become a viral sensation, and a crowd would show up to the abandoned pier on Nov. 6 to cheer him on. Despite people being unsure whether the said rotisserie chicken event was, in fact, real, Philadelphia showed up. And they enthusiastically cheered Tominsky on as he consumed his 40th rotisserie chicken. The uproar only intensified when he triumphantly finished the chicken, standing up and putting his fist in the air (reminiscent of the film hero Rocky Balboa). To make the scene even more iconic, Bruce Springsteen’s
“Streets of Philadelphia” played in the background amid the poultry celebration.
The lesson here? We’re not entirely sure — American gluttony? Fifteen minutes of fame? — but it does prove the power of community, especially in Philadelphia. Many in the crowd weren’t sure that said chicken consumption would occur or perhaps questioned why an abandoned pier was the locale of choice. At the end of his binge- eating extravaganza, Tominsky expressed his gratitude for the people who showed up, saying, “Thanks for watching me consume.” Be sure to keep an eye out for The Chicken Man because you never know when he’ll make a rotisserie return.
