Would you pay $169 for a hot dog? |

The Guinness World Book of Records has added a new hot dog to its pages. Tokyo Dog in Seattle has created a wiener that is so expensive, it costs a record breaking $169. What makes it so expensive? The foot long dog called the Juuni Ban “contains smoked cheese bratwurst, butter Teriyaki grilled onions, Maitake mushrooms, Wagyu beef, foie gras, shaved black truffles, caviar and Japanese mayonnaise, all served up in a brioche bun.” Sounds yummy to you? Then call the food truck two weeks in advance if you want to try it. All proceeds from the world’s most expensive hot dog go to the American Red Cross.
Since I am from NYC, I will stick with the boring old sauerkraut and mustard. What do you like on your red hot?

Meet the new furriest pussy! |

There is a new very furry cat in the Guinness Book of World Records and her name is Sophie. She is a 2-year-old rescue cat from Oceanside, California and the fur on her tail measures 25.68 centimetres (10.11 inches). That beats out the last holder of the title by over an inch.
Sophie’s mom, Jami, acquired her one day when she was walking her dog and a man in a truck asked her if she wanted the kitten in the paperbag he was holding. She wasn’t sure if there really was one in there, but as soon as she got her hands on the bag she realized there was one inside. She originally intended to bring the kitten into the shelter, but after 30 minutes she was in love. How can you not love that face and long beautiful tail?
As the owner of a long haired kitty, I feel for Jami. I know what it is like to have fur all over the place and my baby’s fur is about half the length of Sophie’s.

There’s a World Record for most donated breast milk |

Alyse Ogletree had a lot, and I do mean a lot, of breast milk. So much so she had been donating it to the Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas. How much has she pumped out to them? According to KXAS she’s given them over a whopping 53,000 ounces, which is not twice but three times the previous record holder. An amount none of us can fathom.
Guinness World Records said she donated the milk from January 11, 2011 to March 25, 2014. So in just over three years she made a lot parents and babies very happy people, and her kids and husband very jealous.
I sincerely respect her for donating all of that milk because she could’ve made a lot money off of it. You know, because there are people who have fetish for that sort of thing, at least that is what I once heard on The Jerry Springer Show.

Arby’s created the longest commercial ever, it runs for 13 hours! |

Arby’s wanted to show you how they make their 13-Hour Smokehouse Brisket, so they made a 13 hour commercial to show us the whole process and I do mean whole. Instead of speeding through the over half day smoking, they shot it in real time. It is as interesting to watch as watching meat cook, oh wait!
Actually, it reminds me of the WPIX Yule Log, so it leaves me with a smile on my face. There is something just hypnotizing about it. And the most important thing is that it makes me want to try the sandwich and that is what a commercial is supposed to do.
BTW I wonder how long it took to upload this video to YouTube??? More time than it took to cook that Brisket.

This woman can really down a piece of a meat! |

Molly Schuyler is proving to be one of the best competitive eaters out there, even though she weighs around 125lbs. Yesterday, she traveled to Texas to beat her own record at The Big Texan 72 oz. Steak Challenge. Not only did she eat the monster Steak, a Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Potato, Salad, and Roll with Butter in less time than before, she also beat the previous record holder by half his time. You might’ve heard of him, his name is Joey Chestnut, and he wins that Nathan’s Hot Dog Challenge almost every year recently.
So how fast did she eat all of that food? Are you sitting down? She ate nearly 5 pounds of meat plus some carbs and fish in just under 5 minutes. That’s right she did the challenge in 4:58 seconds. Then when she was done, she did it all over again. But this time she did it in almost twice the time.
Just think about this for a second. A woman who weighs a buck and a quarter ate almost 10 pounds of meat in about 15 minutes. About time a woman showed some men that we can eat just as much as them, if not more.
BTW Schuyler isn’t happy just holding the record. She said on YouTube that she plans on going back and doing it again. But this time, she wants to do the meal not once, not twice, but three times. That is more meat than I can fathom.
Do you think you can do The Big Texan 72 oz. Steak Challenge in less than hour? I know I couldn’t.
