2 Especially Odd Food Stories

June 14, 2011

Every day seems to offer something bizarre in the world of food, but here are two doozies. 

1) Flaming Dessert Injures Four At Restaurant: Here's an accident that sounds like it came right out of the movies. Four customers were injured when a server used too much alcohol in the preparation of a bananas foster and the dessert exploded. The incident occurred at Ozona Blue Grilling Co. in Palm Harbor, Florida. Two of the patrons were treated at a local hospital and the other two were treated at the restaurant. 

2) NYC Pizza Run brings new meaning to take-out pizza as runners grab slices mid-race: This race brings a new meaning to the word endurance. Participants in the second New York City Pizza Run completed a 2.25 mile run with three stops for pizza. At each stop, runners had to finish a slice of pizza. Peter O'Rourke won the race with a time of 15 minutes and 24 seconds. He said he planned to eat pizza for dinner.
