BONEY DOG'S FIRST AND LAST ANNUAL BRATWURST SMACK-DOWN.

Take fifty food fanatics, thirty-four varieties of bratwurst, a vacuum-sealed bag of homemade proscuitto, a Holmesian hot dog named "The Big Wally," four Weber kettle grills, three waffle irons and a man named "Boney Dog." Drop them onto a field in southern Wisconsin for seven hours. What do you get?

You get Boney Dog's First and Last Annual Bratwurst Smack-down...which you can read all about HERE.

And yes...it was I who brought the Ream's.

Here we have the infamous Boney Dog nearly cracking under the pressure of grilling the same damn sausage for five and half continuous hours.

Eating the same damn sausage for five and a half continuous hours was a much easier feat.

Contrary to appearances, we did take time to eat our vegetables. Pictured above is Mrs. Boney Dog's German Potato Salad. Teeming with grilled potato slices, bacon and vinegar, it was the best I've ever had.

Thanks again, Dog. It may not have been much fun for you, but it was a day on Fantasy Island for the rest of us. A really, seriously fabulous day.
