New Brat-Eating Record

You know football season hasn't started yet when all eyes are pointed at Sheboygan. A new brat-eating record was set this past weekend. Takeru Kobayashi came in from Nagano, Japan and he kicked ass.

Takeru Kobayashi chomped through a record 58 brats at the Johnsonville World Bratwurst Eating Championship on Saturday, easily winning another tasty title and slicing through the record of 34 1/2 set last year by Sonya Thomas.

58 brats - holy fuckshit! I'm told that Johnsonville, the sponsor of the event, makes their brats 5:1 so that guy ate almost 12 pounds of meat in 10 minutes. Yikes! The full results can be found here, the webpage of the Internation Federation of Competetive Eating. I never knew there was such a thing.

If you happen to be from California or someplace similar and have no idea what a brat (bratwurst) is, go here.

And check out some bad video from the event.
