Pat Ptacek wanted to find a way to mark his family store's 100-year anniversary. Something unique. Something amazing.
"It started as a meat market 100 years ago, so it made sense to incorporate meat into our celebration," Ptacek said. "I decided, what is the world-record brat?"
Now, he can say it's his. Ptacek's IGA, the Prescott, Wis., grocery store the Ptacek family has owned and operated for a century, grilled and served up a 52-foot-2-inch bratwurst Saturday, Oct. 6 -- complete with a bun.

ping...
Thwe image was delicious, but probably not lawful
reminded me of Willy Wonka
That title had me confused. I thought somebody was finally throwing hard questions at the president.
Yeah I thought Honey Boo Boo got cooked.
You didn't build that!
Lindsay Lohan got burned?
Same here. Thought they threw a spoiled foul-mouth pants on the ground punk on the grill. Ack, it’d probably taste foul.
Grilled Meat ping.
same here, my little god son nephew aka ‘creep’, now a small town police chief and iraq veteran was a real brat, he got his brat butt grilled regularly and survived leukemia as a wee tot to boot, a swedish bohemian brat success story. ;-}
But it’s be SO much fun to watch!
;^)
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list. Only in Wisconsin could you find a 52 foot long brat with a bun to match. No wonder so many of us are zoftig.
Sounds good. I never cared much for the texture of brats until my father in law made me one that was beer-boiled first, then lightly grilled and loaded with onions that had also boiled in the beer.
Your Father is “The Man”! That’s THE correct way to prepare a brat. (The onions should be allowed to “caramelized” as the beer is cooked off.) A nice cold brewski to wash is a must.
LOL I am not from the land o cheese beer and sausage donchaknow but I married a lovely redhead from Antigo and have been a lifelong Packer Fan, now an owner, so I might as well be donchathink?
I used to listen to Michael Feldman and his line says it best...”it sits in your stomach like a third bratwurst..”
And butter in the parboil doesn’t hurt either..
OOP’S, You’re right I forgot the butter! Thanks for the reminder!
Well, I’m native Californian who has lived in the land of brats and cheese for 27 years. The headline din’t confuse me for a second, so I was amused to see the first 10 replies talking about over heated bad children. LOL.
