Milwaukee celebrates St. Pat's with Rubenesque reuben

Normally when I write about a gigantic Guinness-worthy food item I have some confirmation. In this case I don't. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a photo of the freakish food in question. So, imagine the sandwich pictured here much, much larger. Good, now picture it even bigger!

I'm pretty confident that the near 300-pound, four-foot-by-five-foot reuben was that was laid out for St. Pat's partiers at a Milwaukee bar last night is one for the books. One hundred pounds of corned beef, 40 pounds of swiss, 80 pounds of sauerkraut and three gallons of thousand island dressing went into the nearly 300-pound creation. What I want to know is what did they cook it on? And just how many pounds Tums were consumed afterwards?
