Since there was a picture with the original news story I would say they made
it. I can't find the pic now though. It's big. It just looked like a
giant hamburger. It looked like it was a good 3 feet across and probably at
least a foot high.

I don't think the point is to actually serve the thing though, I think the
world record is probably the point.
