Udon Noodle Shop for Gluttonous Eaters
Do you really like udon? I mean, really, really like udon to the point that you'd want to eat a bucket of it? Then Japanese competitive eater Nobuyuki Shirota has the restaurant for you: Shirotaya, a limited-time noodle shop in Osaka whose standard bowls of udon come with 16 portions of noodles for about $40. Don't be intimidated; those with normal appetites can order a sixteenth of a bowl of udon.

to me, there is something seriously WRONG about eating contests, biggest-this, biggest-that.
sounds silly, but i have a reverential feeling toward food and the workers that produce it.
i feel bad when i have to throw out food. it seems disrespectful.

16 Japanese noodle portions=equivalent to one American portion. Bring it on!
