OrangeSoul Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 The burger war is growing. Literally. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, which lost its crown as the home of the world's biggest burger earlier this year, is now offering a new burger that weighs a whopping 15 pounds. 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. It costs $30. "It can feed a family of 10," said Denny Liegey Sr., the restaurant's owner. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub had offered a 6-pound burger - with 5 pounds of toppings. In February, a 100-pound female college student became the first to eat the burger within the three-hour time limit. Kate Stelnick, of Princeton, N.J., was awarded a special certificate, a T-shirt and other prizes and Leigey picked up the $23.95 tab for the burger. One month later, the Clinton Station Diner in Clinton, N.J., introduced a 12.5-pound burger dubbed Zeus. So Liegey responded, and the Belly Buster was born. 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." http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050503/D89RMI981.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metro Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 And Americans wonder why other countries accuse us of being fat, gluttonous pigs... Hey, I know I am overweight, but I don't make attempts to eat garbage like this. I admit, it is amusing that there is a burger that big, but not amusing that someone will try and eat the whole thing for bragging rights. I find it disgusting.

And Japan isn't exactly known for its fat, gluttonous pigs. It's not like it's something you go and grab for dinner one night. It's a novelty, if anything.
