Martin Kessman and I have something in common⦠we love burgers. But heâs a little larger than I am, and the 290 pound New York man is upset at White Castle â¦.because he finds it hard to fit into their booths.   He was so incensed that heâs filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court. Oh, the humiliation. Oh, the annoyance. We get it. But do we have to sue everyone⦠over every little annoyance? Mr. Kessman says, âI just want to sit down like a normal person.â Hereâs an idea⦠if you want to sit down like a normal person,  spend a little more time becoming one. How âbout a walk around the block once in a while?

I thought this was a joke but I was wrong.   The UK Daily Mail is reporting that Susanne Eman, an Arizona mother of two boys, tips the scales at more than 700 pounds. She doesnât want to lose weight⦠she wants to put it on, and become the fattest human in history. Thatâs right, her âgoalâ is 1600 pounds. Sheâs currently consuming around 22,000 calories a day, and her breakfast menualone could feed 60 people. âThe bigger I get, the better I feel,â says Susanne. âI feel more confident and sexy. Why shouldnât I push the limits and see how fat I can get and stay healthy?â Woman, you are not overweight.. or fat.. or obese.  You are bat$##t crazy!

You may have seen this WSBTV storyout of Midway, Georgia. The cops have put the squeeze on a lemonade stand run by three girls, who were trying to raise money to go to a water park. Apparently the girls needed business and food permits ($50 a day), even if the stand is at a residence. In other words, selling lemonade in your yard is illegal. Yes, I realize cities are strapped for cash⦠who isnât? But come on⦠Way to put a damper on the entrepreneurial spirit. Iâll bet they wouldnât have done this to The Little Rascalsâ¦

Thereâs a story out of Monroeville, Pennsylvania thatâs causing a bit of a stir. It seems McDainâs Restaurant is not going to be confused with the other McDâs anytime soon. Starting tomorrow, kids under 6 will no longer be admitted. The owner says âtheir volume canât be controlled and many, many times, they have disturbed customers.â Okay, little ones can be a little noisy⦠such is life. But Iâm not sure if I like banning people under a certain age or over a certain age. What Iâd love to see isâ¦. banning people who are annoying. You know⦠if youâre obnoxious, rude, condescending.. youâre out. One day, there may be a simple scanner at the entrance.. a jackass detector. Most people just walk through it, no problem. Come on in. But you? Oh, oh⦠you have jackass tendencies. Thatâs not a crime⦠you just canât eat here. I think the rest of us would appreciate it.Â

With the help of the Food Network shows and other exposure, thereâs no shortage of Food Truck entrepreneurs⦠and fans these days.   And this despite downtown Sacramentoâs strict ordinances against the kind of mobile foodie scene you might find in Portland, San Francisco or LA. Thanks to Chris Maciasof the Bee,  I understand that the newly formed Sacramento Food Truck Alliance has started to organize weekly festivals, slightly beyond the downtown limits. Thursday night spots have included Tognottiâs Auto Worldâs parking lot⦠and tonightâs edition (from 5 - 8pm)  will be at Mel Rapton Honda on Fulton, near the Capital City Freeway. Local vendors will include Mini Burger, Drewskiâs Hot Rod Kitchen, Mama Kim, Chandoâs Tacos and the Leaven & Earth Sandwich Co. Hey, that sounds like some good eatin.â
