Best of the wurst (the bratwurst, that is)

A month after his efforts at Coney Island, Takeru Kobayashi downed a record setting 58 Johnsonville brats in 10 minutes. Unlike the Nathan's hot dog eating contest, it was all meat with no buns.

Checking out the nutritional information label and doing some quick mental calculations, that works out to 16820 calories and 1450 grams of fat, with enough sodium to form a salt lick.

As Homer Simpson would say: "Mmmmm... fattening..."

Do you remember the day I was eating an entire package of Lloyd's ribs, and you and Rob came in and figured out the nutritional information?

Yay math!

I wonder how many calories were consumed during those embroidered rugby shirt-staining, all-you-can-eat Applebee's riblet gorging sessions...
