15 lb Hamburger???
Last summer, I posted about Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Pennsylvania, who started offering a 6lb burger. To put that into perspective, let me remind you of what Kelly’s Bleachers in Milwaukee offers:
For those of you that live in the Milwaukee area, I’m sure a lot of you have been to Kelly’s Bleachers on Bluemound, also known as the home of the 4 pound hamburger. I can’t find a picture of it anywhere, but that is a bigass burger. To put that in perspective, think of a good-sized steak being around 16 ounces. This is 64 ounces. Very impressive if anyone has consumed one of those.
So, Denny’s come out with the 6lb burger. THEN, Denny’s loses the title of “world’s biggest burger” to the Clinton Station Diner in Clinton, N.J., which introduced a 12.5-pound hamburger called “Zeus” in early 2005.
Denny’s has reclaimed the crown though by unveiling the “Beer Barrel Belly Buster” a monstrous 15-pound burger featuring:
The burger costs $30, and could feed a family of 10.
Over the weekend, four men took the challenge, but couldn’t get through the entire burger. They opted for doggie bags, instead.
“It’s a little too much for me to handle,” said Steve Hepburn, of Clearfield. “It’s like trying to eat half a cow.”
I don’t have a picture of this burger yet, but when I do, I’ll be sure to add it. You can check out my last article (including pictures) by clicking here. Would any of you be up to the 15 lb burger challenge?
UPDATE: Here’s the picture of the Burger. That’s just not right.
Christ that sounds good.

15 pounds? 30 dollars? That’s whats wrong with society right there fat people
getting fatter, poorer eating all that read meat and cheese. For what? Popularit,
friends, bragging rights and sense of contentment? For $20 you can get alls that
with some crack rock.
