Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

CLEARFIELD, Pa. -- People from New York and Ohio come to Denny's Beer Barrel Pub for a pretty big hamburger: 6 pounds of beef, one large onion, two whole tomatoes, a half a head of lettuce, 1 1/4 pounds of cheese, top and bottom buns, and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, banana peppers and some pickles.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I am totally craving one of those right now, but I couldn't fit it in my mouth. Plus, the middle of the burger must be rife with slightly warmed bacteria.

This is a much worthier endeavor than the piewich.

$23.95 is how much a regular cheeseburger costs in LA.

― dean? (deangulberry), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

okay not as big but TRIPLE DECKER from Genny's:

"Take special note of the Sweet Daddy Platter ($9.50 with fries, $9 for the burger alone), a trademark entree that features a stunning 1 1/4 pound of ground beef formed into a triple-deck hamburger that easily qualifies as the largest in town."

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

In trying to make one of these I have just set off every smoke detector in our apartment, consumed close to a six-pack of Killian's Irish Red and pissed off all of my r'mates by insuring that our apartment reeks of sizzling cheap ground beef until we move out.

God bless the USA.

someone DID eat the burger back in january... it was a 100-lb woman. she's the same age as me too!! something that both shames and arouses me.

It's totally doable, but I think you've got to be in great shape. I'd have to train for it. I'm thinking the trick is drinking enough water with it. (or maybe no water at all? - one of those).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

NO it is NOT 'doable' and you do NOT have to be in 'great shape' were it so. NO ONE, has ever done it. that '100 lb woman' thing is one of the great (by which i mean, least great) urban myths of our time. it is totally false.
