Thwarted!
Alas, the brat-consuming record was not broken this Labor Day weekend at Brat Fest.
The goal: 200,000 Bratwurst
The reality: 162,234 Bratwurst
But don’t despair! This still beat the previous Labor Day record by 39,000 brats. And really, if you consider that The Taste of Madison and a home UW Football game was going on over the weekend, I think Madison did ok in their great bratwurst quest.
Besides, the World Records always seem to be set over Memorial Day, when, after a long winter, Madisonians come out of hibernation to indulge in some of the first grilled brats of the year.
That’s when we really pack ‘em away.
