3 May 2005It takes three hands to handleA fifteen-pound hamburger? In Clearfield, Pennsylvania, you betcha:
Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, which lost its crown as the home of the world's biggest burger earlier this year, is now offering a new burger that weighs a whopping 15 pounds.
Dubbed the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, the burger comes with 10.5 pounds of ground beef, 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, a cup-and-a-half each of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, mustard and banana peppers — and a bun. It costs $30. Um, hold the mayo. There may have been a time when I might have tried to polish off one of those. But there's never been a time when I would have succeeded; I might go through 10½ pounds of ground beef in a month, maybe. (Via Vinny Ferrari, who also isn't buying.)

That is, if it doesn't kill off all the inhabitants with high cholesterol first. Posted by: sya at 11:26 AM on 3 May 2005At least it's not a giant burrito. Posted by: McGehee at 12:23 PM on 3 May 2005Does it come with fries? Posted by: Jeffro at 6:47 PM on 3 May 2005Not that I'm proud of gluttony or youthful indiscretions, but at the tender age of 18 [october 1976] I polished off 13 big macs at one setting @ a southside okc mickey-Ds...od course this constituted perhaps, a couple of pounds actual beef. Posted by: paulsmos at 9:48 PM on 3 May 2005The Mac patty is somewhere around 2.4 ounces, so twenty-six of them would be about 62 ounces, a tad shy of four pounds. Assuming my numbers are closer than Johnny Carson's: "McDonald's has now served their 100 millionth burger. Can you imagine that? That's over a hundred pounds of beef." There are two of those patties in a Big Mac, are there not? Two all-beef patties Yup. Two of 'em. Posted by: McGehee at 7:55 AM on 4 May 2005Hence twenty-six patties from thirteen Big Macs. |
