Is it bad that I spent more time reading this story than any other one in the paper this morning?

"It's all about the cheese sauce," insists Jim Coleman, manager of the Dublin Pub in a strip mall south of downtown. Most restaurants offer either a yellow or white cheese sauce, often homemade with ingredients like sharp cheddar, beer, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. On a busy weekend, Mr. Coleman figures he goes through 25 to 30 gallons of the stuff.
A regular-size horseshoe contains about 1,900 calories, about the same as in nine jelly-filled doughnuts. Most restaurants also offer smaller "pony shoes" that come in at 1,300 calories or so.
"It's only health," said Jeff Reazer, a razor-thin 42-year-old, as he gobbled one of his three weekly horseshoes at the Dublin Pub one recent evening.
Anyone had one of these? I also liked the explanation of the "Shoe Burrito":
Field House co-owner Mr. Hart, 37, says a friend invented the concoction when they were messing around one night while working at a pizzeria.
"All I did was eat it and say, 'Yeah, that's pretty good,'" Mr. Hart says.
"messing around" = getting blazed in the kitchen? Either way, good job, Mr. Hart.
