Ella Morton of the URDB and SPAM cattle

I can’t help it, I love the Universal Record Database, a group of wacky people that help others from around the world set any world record the wish.  Maybe my adoration is because my first introduction to them dealt with a live, world record event based solely on food: piles, mounds, stacks, and pieces of it.  I saw the world’s longest cupcake kabab, the most tortillas tossed and the tallest s’more.  The second time I wrote about the URDB was for a Time Out New York feature, in which all but one of the record setters were using food (Tabasco, sugar, chocolate, and wine, or at least a wine bottle).  So, imagine my glee when they produced a food themed episode of their new video segment,  The URDB World Record Show. Watch this episode and find out who peeled a banana the fastest, the largest spam cattle herd, who made the largest Lucky Charms beard, and more.

I did these photos of some food world records by the World Record Appreciation Society at Crash Mansion for Time Out New York last month.  They came out pretty cool.
