Bucca De Beppo, the home to stupidly huge pasta dinners made a super huge spaghetti plate for a new world record of 13,786 lbs of pasta with 100 gallons of sauce. I think I'd be pissed if I got a plate with such little sauce:pasta ratio though.

Its quite a feat, but I'm also bothered because they could have fed a starving soverign nation or something...

Seems like such a waste when there are people that NEED food.

EXACTLY!!! That's why I hate watching all of those Food Network Challenges. Feed the f***ing starving before you break a world record because you are bored.

You know most restaurants/people that break those food world records usually make super huge pizza's, cakes, or in this case a bowl of spaghetti and get it documented. THEN they distribute it to the needy.

I guess that wasn't the case for these guys though.

Especially cause uncooked pasta is nonperishable.

This is kind of an extreme but it give you an idea as to how much food we throw out in the United States.http://www.wimp.com/dumpsterdiving/

It really is sad, especially if you have seen what's out there.
