Bar roasts a bear celebrating Packers victory

This comes right on the heels of the lion tacos story.
A sports bar in St. Paul Minnesota loves the Green Bay Packers football team.

Since the big game was against the Chicago Bears what better way to show their loyality than  roasting a bear.

Blake Montpetit, the co-owner of Tiffany Sports Lounge in St. Paul, roasted a 180-pound black bear in a pig-roaster over hickory and charcoal on Sunday.
He says his cousin shot it in northern Wisconsin during bear hunting season, which runs in September and October, and then froze it.
He wanted to serve the bear meat to customers, but the health department wouldn't allow it because the meat was unprocessed.
So the next best thing was customers could take photos with the roasting bear.

Who won? It was Green bay 21 and the Chicago Bears 14.
