Trick or Tweet

Disclaimer: I did not, I repeat did not - and will never, consume any of the foods pictured in this entry. Photos courtesy of thisiswhyyourefat.com

Sausage stuffed with pepperoni, cheese and veggies stuffed inside more sausage with a second layer of toppings, all smoked and then topped with pepperoni.

Ok this has nothing to do with Halloween (my most favorite holiday), but it does have to do with Twitter and the event is two days before Halloween.

The ultimate in food truck competitions. Food that will win over your heart -- or perhaps break it, literally. This Is Why You're Fat, a new book based on a website that compiles pictures submitted by users from around the nation of grotesquely large, unhealthy, or just plain disgusting foods, is coming out next week. And as a sort of publicity game (or to see who can eat through their insurance deductibles first), the top food trucks in Manhattan (Treats Truck, Cupcake Stop, the Bistro Truck, Wafels & Dinges, the Cravings Truck, and Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream) are going head to head, or bun to bun if you will, to see who can whip up the tastiest and most heart-wrenching creation that best represents the inspiration for the book.

The first Tweeter to submit photos of them eating the creations at all of the participating trucks wins a food-truck- catered party for 25 -- oh, and the winning dish becomes a regular on the respective truck's menu!

I wonder what they'll think of.

If anybody is free next Thursday, please please make the rounds, take pictures, and tell me how it was!

Be happy and Carpe Diem!
