World Record for Biggest Kebob Set in Berlin

Deutsche Welle reports that the world record for the biggest doner kebab has been broken in Berlin. It is a fitting title for the city where the sandwich was invented.

A massive 423.5-kilogram (934-pound) doner kebab was served up in a Berlin shopping center on Friday, October 27, 2017, breaking the world record for the sandwich that has become a staple of German food.

The doner weighed in at almost a ton, but broke due to its weight and needed to be cut in two.
