From Mr. Handsome…
Well we can cross that off the list–we have officially seen the world’s largest cast iron skillet. I hope everyone can appreciate this monumental occasion. I know Little Buddy was impressed. He has decided he wants to be the biggest and strongest kid in the world, so naturally he should see the biggest skillet.
We stopped at the Lodge Museum of Cast Iron in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, to witness this triumph of human ingenuity. The skillet measures 18 feet across, weighs 14,360 pounds, and could hypothetically cook about 650 eggs at a time. With the price of eggs right now, that would be an expensive meal!
Have you visited any similar tourist traps, like the worlds largest ball of string, largest ketchup bottle, etc? The whole concept is very goofy, but let’s face it, when you’re driving down the road and see the sign, you sure want to stop just to “say you saw it.”
