Hamburger anyone?

A restaurant in Clearfield, PA has just come out with a 15-pound Hamburger.
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.

One man, who took the challenge of trying to finish it on his own had this to say about it:
"It's a little too much for me to handle," said Steve Hepburn, of Clearfield. "It's like trying to eat half a cow."


For on odd comparison between this story and owls, a person swallowing a 15-pound hamburger whole is akin to an owl swallowing a field rat. Really think about the relative size of an owl to a field rat.

I love hamburger, but this is a little overboard....
I couldn't find any pictures, but I did find a picture from the same bar of their previous large hamburger, which weighed in at 6 pounds. So, take the hamburger pictured below and add 11 POUNDS to it! Apparently it will feed a family of 10.


**note: girl in picture apparently weighs 100 pounds and this is only a 6 pound burger**

Actually, I think that the article says that is a 6 pound burger, but its comes with 5 pounds of toppings.

On a side note, I think that I could take the 15 pound burger on a good day.

that could be.
the 15 pound burger is 10.5 pounds of beef, with 4.5 pounds of toppings.

apparently this story made the news in the chicago area too, as my family and friends were talking about it there.

word on the street there is that it takes 2.5 hours to cook it.

how one would FLIP that burger is still a hot topic for debate.

I was there when a reporter bought one at the dennys beer barrel pub and denny said that the ground beef itself is 15 pounds and that the toppings weigh over 6 pounds themselves. and they also said that it takes five hours to make it and you have to call ahead. i tried eating the three pound burger a couple of times since i live close and still havent done it.
