What's The Biggest Burger That You've Ever Seen? Seymour Bigger

[GoldenGuppy]

Real burger of course... apparently the same people who set the Guiness Record for the largest burger back in '89 only to have it broken in '99 has reassembled and will attempt to construct(for lack of better terms ) an 8-ton hamburger.

Story can be found:


Here

The town of Seymour has the schedule set and will definitely grill this burger "rain or shine"



<< The dimensions of this year's burger were calculated by the company donating the beef - they estimate it to be 22-by-22 feet and about 5.5 inches thick. >>



But their just talking about the patty there... when I first read the article, I thought that the team would make an entire burger w/ the buns, lettuce, tomatoes and everything (the vegetables would of course be genetically grown )... instead they just plan on making the patty and chopping it into serving size (10,000 servings to be exact) - making me quite disappointed...

Anybody going to happen to be in the area at the time? I'd appreciate a report

The only question that I have is that, how is such a feat funded? Is it a whole city fund raising thing? Because if it is , they'll have to get a lot of money off the tickets in order to justify the costs! Not so much the material... but all the man-labor and prep-teams that are required to begin w/ :Q

Guess it shows what some groups would do to regain their title and pride.

i saw this one place on tv with 4 pound hamburgers, it was like 2 pounds of meat, 1 pound of lettuce and 1 pound of bun. Looked tastey

Hey my friend ate this buger one time it wasnt the biggest ...but ithink it was the most unhealthy.ok heres how it goes.Instead of a bun its two grilled cheese sanwiches with bacon in them then in the center it a doubble bacon cheese burger with an egg on top of it..Im telling you it was the nastiest thing Ive ever seen someone eat.

I read a story about a huge McDonalds burger that was being tested at select locations about 10 years ago. It was called the 'MegaMac' and it was supposed to be the size of a pie. It was $4. I guess nobody liked it...

lol vector, thats gotta be great for a persons cholesterol

 

[GoldenGuppy]

Vector - Hmm... now, wait, repeat that step-by-step again! (GG takes out note pad) ... sounds tasty

However there seems to be an overload on the bacon... it's only good to an extent... (like most things) once you get too much in there, it just gets way to salty... which hinders the taste.. that's all I'm worried about there, because there's no way in hell that I'm gonna say, hmm... take out a few strips of bacon - there! now it's healthy

Your friend should've gotten some grilled onions on that thing and some lettuce to make it go down just a bit easier!!

And btw: why the hell is there an egg in there?!! Bleh.. that makes it some sort of a breakfast/lunch hybrid burger!! (quite efficient in one's diet I might add).

He was uder the influnce of an equal mix of peepressure and intoxicants....which I might add can be a bad combo.Next time well add the onions.

The Classic Burger we serve at my workplace (the Cheesecake Factory) is fricking huge. It's a 12-oz chop-house style patty. One of the bigger burgers I've seen that's easily obtainable.

If they are still around there is a restaurant here that has a 5 pound burger. That is a 5 pound patty with bun and fixin's adding more weight. If you ate it all they gave it to you for free.

amnesiac 2.0- how much is that burger at the Cheesecake Factory? I remember once I bought a cheesecake or 2 ( don't remember ) w/ some salad and the bill ran up to 15 dollars... I admit the cheesecake was amazingly good, though.

I'm guessing it's the 6 dollar burger that runs at 16 dollars

Vector - was the burger custom made (like In-and-out 4x4, etc)? Or was it a part of the menu? - how much was that sucker?? I guess he had something to prove to you guys, that's why he added the egg

I remember though, once in H.S. a friend of mine when to IN-And-Out and had a 6x6 or something of that nature... something big and although I didn't witness it, he had the receipt to prove it... it was like 9-10 dollars or something.. don't really remember.. but this guy... was like a midget sumo wrestler, and I knew he was capable of eating such

Fried egg on a burger is DELICIOUS, don't forget a slice of ham also.

The Best Burger (with picture)

Would be the perfect place for a Portland/Eugene/Corvallis/Vancouver/Kent/Seattle AnandTech get together but the youngin's can't tag along since it's 21 and over only.

 

[GoldenGuppy]

RossMAN - looks identical to a double double

However upon closer investigation:



<< piled with cheese, ham, bacon, fried egg, tomato, lettuce, pickles and onions. You'll need extra napkins for this baby. >>



No doubt... sounds tasty

It was custom made...The waitress was one of my girlfriends so we had the free food hook-up.

 

[DJediMaster]

I believe that would be at 'Lick's'. Their hamburger buns are the size of your face, and the meat is like one inch thick! I saw a family of four sharing one burger

 

[RossMAN]

GoldenGuppy - I'd be in serious trouble if we had In &amp; Out here in Portland, are they really that good?

Trust me that Stanich's burger is juicy and delicious, not bad for $5 plus $1 for fries.

I saw a show from the Seattle area about this one big ass buger called the Tsunami Buger. I caught the show half way through but basically it's a burger the size of a large Pizza!!! I think they said it had 20 pounds of meat and you have to order it one day in advance.

Cheers,

biggest i've seen personally is a 2/3 lb burger.

This local joint I frequent occasionally has a 1-pound (pre-cook) burger. (Actually a double decker with 2 half-pound patties)

All the toppings with unlimited fries and choice of pop with unlimited refills for $9.99, and it's damn good too!

(cheese and bacon are each a buck extra)

 

[GoldenGuppy]

RossMAN - In-And-Out is delicious!

Although it's fast food rather than mom and pop's...

The burger patties are not that big, but they're juicy and flavorful...

Basically what I have in mine would be

The grilled buns.. the extra America cheese... grilled onions minced up (yummy!) - the onions are grilled up on the same grill as the burger so you get that meaty, oily taste , the 2 patties, the lettuce and the tomato, and the extra 1000 island sauce... very delicious... I haven't found a restaurant burger that I liked better.

How about I send you a ticket to come down here to LA and you send a ticket for me to go up there to Portland.. I'll even provide housing... you've gotta try this burger

No IN-and-OUT in Portland... man =(

Next time you're in Cali, make it a priority

Ferocious - sounds like a great deal to me... especially w/ the unlimited fries and drinks... I can just picture myself bringing a few friends and splittin' the tab - NICE!

When McDonalds had a &quot;double your meat&quot; deal, a friend ordered 2 BigMacs, doubled the meat, then slapped them together for this 8-stacker. He inhaled that thing like he hadn't eaten in a week. Maybe not the biggest burger, but definitely the tallest I've seen.
