A Pennsylvania restaurant that earlier this year lost its crown as home of the world's biggest hamburger has reclaimed it, offering one 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 36-ounce bun. It costs $35.

"It can feed a family of 10," said Denny Liegey Sr., owner of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub.

The pub previously offered an 11 pound burger, with 6 pounds of meat and 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 Liegey Sr. picked up the $23.95 tab for the burger.

A month later, the Clinton Station Diner in Clinton, New Jersey, introduced a 12.5-pound burger, dubbed "Zeus." So Liegey Sr. responded, and the Belly Buster was born.

Over the weekend, four men took the Belly Buster 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. "It's like trying to eat half a cow."

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest burger ever was created in 1999 by Hi-Line promotions. It was 6,040 pounds, and 24 feet in diameter. But that was a one-shot deal.

On The Early Show Wednesday, Beer Barrel Belly Buster in-hand, Denny Liegey Jr. told co-anchor Harry Smith this burger has been certified by Guinness as the biggest restaurant burger.

He says his family's pub started with a two-pound burger in 1991, and it "just kind of evolved from there."

The 10.5 pound (after-cooking) patty alone "could probably serve a family of ten," he added.

That would have to be one of the cooler pub/dinner places to hang in a college town B)


Get :hic: , eat a 15 pound burger, than :barfon:

Between this and Burger King's enormous omelet sandwich, little wonder that Americans are generally so obese and dying of heart attacks.

Sounds like a good breakfast and dinner combo to me... so whats for lunch?


BTW.... we dont bow.... we chow!

"Ya gotta eat more to score!"

No comments about the 100 pound college girl who took 6 lbs of hot meat.

And yet, we still have one of the highest life expectancy rates.....

I was researching one of those African countries where the fighting is?
Life expectancy of men is like 46 years.....

Unreal.

Let's not forget the appetizer from KKD.
:lol:

Natural death? Or junta / civil war / massacre?

The US also got some of the highest health cost per capita in the world... almost twice of what most western countries use... :unsure:
