    Ep. 52 - The Muskrat Mauler | Cody Fenzel & Katie Rosati

    Cody Fenzel is a Maryland outdoorsman, wild game connoisseur, and three-time competitor in the Muskrat Leg Eating World Championship, taking 3rd place in 2024 and 2nd place in 2025 and 2026. Cody and his fiancé, Katie Rosati, hung out with Chris and Crystal at historic Rosemont in Laurel, Delaware. This is a fun one! Topics discussed: How Chris stumbled upon Cody's "Muskrat Mauler" persona on social media. The Muskrat Leg Eating World Championship, held annually in mid-February at Cult Classic Brewing in Stevensville, Maryland. The rules: Eat the most muskrat leg (by weight) in 2 minutes. The event's tongue-in-cheek and hilarious trash talking, and notorious competitors including Dirty Legs Detmer and the [allegedly] Cheating Chicken Man. The evolution of the Muskrat Mauler. Muskrat vs. chicken vs. squirrel vs. frog vs. duck. Why Cody and Katie moved from the western shore to the Eastern Shore, and their thoughts on both. Sampling Painted Stave's Off the Hoof scrapple-flavored vodka. Cody's recipe for deer testicles, and his interest in developing delicious dishes using so-called "trash" (unappetizing) wild game species. First State Fest's scrapple-eating competition, which Cody couldn't compete in after it was rescheduled. Is 2.9 pounds of scrapple a lot? A surprisingly plausible idea for a watermelon-eating contest in Laurel. The story of Cody's recent proposal to Katie whilst vacationing in Maine. (That would have been a long drive home had she said no!) The Slower Lower podcast thanks the Laurel Historical Society for allowing us to record this episode at Rosemont, the 1770s mansion which is open for free tours on the first Sunday of each month from May through November.
