Pa. Restaurant Creates 123-Pound Burger

4 hours ago

CLEARFIELD, Pa. - The newest addition to the menu at Denny's Beer
Barrel Pub is one whopper of a burger. The Beer Barrel Main Event
Charity Burger weighs in at 123 pounds, a meaty monstrosity that its
cooks maintain shatters the world record of 105 pounds shared by two
restaurants in New Jersey and Thailand.

The sizable sandwich features an 80-pound beef patty, along with a
pound each of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard and mayonnaise, 160
slices of cheese, up to five onions and 12 tomatoes.

It's topped with a couple of pounds of banana peppers, then sandwiched
into a 30-pound bun. Don't forget the garnish of 33 pickles.

There's a pretty hefty price tag, too: $379.

The Clearfield pub unveiled the menu item over the weekend. Restaurant
owner Denny Leigey said he plans to submit paperwork on his colossal
culinary creation to the Guinness Book of World Records.

It's not the first time that Leigey has waded into the competition for
the world's biggest burger. He drew headlines a couple years ago when
he unveiled the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, which weighed in at a mere
15 pounds.

Leigey said he didn't know how many calories were stuffed into his
latest gigantic entree.

"If you were worried about calories you would be at home eating
Kellogg's," he said.

Well... so... what's the "CUSTOMER CHALLENGE" for a world record of their
own? 20 folks in under an hour?

This is just sick. I wonder how many people it would feed?

80 pounds of hamburger.....that should feed about 150 people....that's
a pretty good price, it comes to just $2.50 per person! What a great
idea for a big party! Trouble is, there's a lot of variables: how big
is the thing and what on earth do they serve it/package it on/in? And
how long does it take to cook it? HOW do they cook it? What do they
cook it on? Or in? What shape does it take?

And....have they ever actually made one??

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.

The town of Penn Yan, NY has them beat, I think. Some years back, at a
festival, some bunch of loonies made the world's largest buckwheat pancake,
which required some fancy handling with a forklift.
