Celebrated #Thanksgiving a wee later. Aside from swapping turkey for chicken, we had most of the classics.

I don't normally get hungry transcribing eating videos, but one got me today. There was a challenge with these mac and cheese tacos.

No turkey for Thanksgiving this year in Germany, but Franklin is doing his best impression. Detroit Lions on the TV. Mini lion here next to me. #Thanksgiving #cat

These posts from Major League Eating (MLE) are amazing. Back in July, for the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, they introduced all the competitors in this manner - they're sort of like baseball cards.
