Don't blame KETV weekend morning news anchors Brandi Petersen and Todd Andrews and meteorologist Chuck McWilliams if they don't eat another brat ever again.Each of the three TV personalities downed at least two brats in five minutes during the Johnsonville Big Taste Grill brat eating contest Saturday at the Bass Pro Shop in Council Bluffs.
"For the record, our final team score was Brandi 2.7, Chuck 2.4 and me 2.56," Andrews said. "And also for the record: I can't wait to do it again."
And he is not saying that tongue-in-cheek, either. Andrews has taken part in a number of bacon-eating contests (his personal record is 56 slices), said he was dreading this one because he doesn't particularly like bratwurst.
"I was pleased to find out that it would be a 20-on-20 (team) effort — as opposed
to 3-on-3, like I'd originally thought," he said.
But despite their vaiant efforts (along with Iowa Bass Pro Shop employees and National Guard soldiers), KETV was no match for the Iowa Blackhawks indoor professional football team.
The Blackhawks combined to eat 65 brats in five minutes to win the contest.
Petersen said despite that outcome, she enjoyed the friendly competition between her fellow KETV co-workers.
"I think we are all satisifed with the 2.5-apiece tie between the three of us, and we aren't planning a rematch anytime soon," she said.
