Extra Mustard's Concession Food Item of the Week is all about pushing boundaries, which is why this week we decided to venture into previously untouched territory for this feature: Booze. This week we decided to highlight an item that boldly combines three of four of the biggest staples in American cuisine: Milkshakes, bacon, beer and more bacon. 

WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT: Shake'n Bacon Brew

WHO HATH WROUGHT THIS MONSTROSITY (and where can I shake their hand)??: Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas

WHAT COMPRISES SUCH A THING?: It is a milkshake made out of six ounces of Ugly Pug Back Lager (from Fort Worth craft brewery Rahr & Sons), six ounces of Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream and two ounces of bacon-infused maple syrup (yes, the syrup has bacon. Duh.) and candied bacon bits all blended together.  It also is topped with whipped cream and, that's right, MORE BACON!!! (NOTE: There is an under-21 variation made with root beer -- it's fun for the whole family!)

HOW MANY CALORIES WE TALKIN'?: 898

898? Isn't that more than the equivalent of two double cheeseburgers at McDonalds?: Yup.

Will my dignity need to be traded for this gem: No, just $10

This item was made available last fall for a Sprint Cup race, and if there's any justice in this world it will be made available for generations to come.
