Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Tiny Uruguay has made off with the world record for the biggest barbecue, grilling 26,400 pounds of beef in a Montevideo sports field. 1,250 cooks in chefs' white hats and aprons went through 6 tons of charcoal, using 1,500 metal barbecue stands. The barbecue was so big the fire department was called to light the grills and make sure the flames stayed under control. At least 20,000 hungry citizens paid the $3 entry fee to help eat the finished product. The April 14 barbecue, held to promote the Uruguayan beef industry, beat the previous record of 17,600 pounds, set in Mexico in 2006.
If Uruguayan beef is anything like Argentinean, then I'm sorry I couldn't have been there.
