Rick Perry loses public bet with Louisiana, will pay up in brisket

Texas governor Rick Perry now owes Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal and a Louisiana food bank 100 pounds of Texas brisket after losing a bet to Jindal over which team would win Saturday's LSU and Texas A&M football game.

Over Twitter, the two Republican heavyweights made the bet for all to see, with Jindal offering up 100 pounds of Louisiana seafood if the Aggies won, to which Perry countered with 100 of the smoky stuff if the Tigers defeated the Ags. The two agreed that the food would be donated to the food bank of their choice.

Quarterback Johnny Manziel and the Aggies weren't able to fend off the Tigers, much to the chagrin of Aggie Nation (and odds-makers in Las Vegas), in the 10-34 loss in Baton Rouge.

But where will Perry get the barbecue from? It's not as if Texas has a limited amount of award-winning choice

I was hoping more for something like the end of the movie The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover
