Pa. Eatery Offers New 15-Pound Burger (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=9&u=/ap/20050503/ap_on_fe_st/biggest_burger)

CLEARFIELD, Pa. - 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."

I think packing 10 pounds of ground beef into your body in one sitting would cause your colon to burst.

After eating that much beef, I think I'd want to vomit every time someone even mentioned the word hamburger in my presence. That's enough meat to block two arteries.

Last I checked, gluttony was still one of the 7 deadly sins.

Way to go, christians!

That first link from Paelos had commentary worse than the damn WoW boards.

I think I could take 6 pounds of beef.

I bet you could, you little whore.

Somehow reading this has made happier that I'm no longer allowed to eat beef.

Huh?

Heh, this needs to be moved out from Useless News; Lou Dobbs just covered it.

Or else move Lou to Useless News.

Huh?

Despite the obvious word ommission that I just included: food allergy.

Hey my last girlfriend was allergic to beef.

I think everyone is allergic to beef.

Have you ever not eaten beef for a few months?

When you go back to you, you get physically ill.

Hefty trio down 12 1/2-pound hamburger (http://abclocal.go.com/wls/news/strange/051005_ap_sn_hamburger.html)

May 10, 2005 (UNION TOWNSHIP, N.J.) — The Clinton Station Diner's 12 1/2-pound "Zeus" burger met its match Monday in the person of 345-pound "Gentleman Joe" Menchetti and two slightly less hefty friends. The trio managed to devour the monster meat patty plus 2 1/2-pound bun and 3 pounds of fixings in one hour, 11 minutes and 52 seconds.

Their Herculean effort bested five other teams that had come to take part in an event billed as America's Biggest Burger Eating Competition.

All for a good cause. Proceeds from the event at least $500 are being donated to Operation Shoebox New Jersey 2005, a volunteer effort to ship such items as candy, toilet paper and other personal items to the troops in Iraq.

Diner owner Michael Zambas staged the event to celebrate the diner's one-year anniversary. He was also donating 15 percent of the Monday night dinner receipts to Operation Shoebox.

Manchetti's teammates on the Tri-State Titans included Dominick "The Doginator" Cardo, 46, a competitive eater is from Bartonsville, Pa., who weighs 325 pounds, and Arnie "Chowhound" Chapman of Oceanside, N.Y., the lightweight at 240 pounds. He is president of the Association of Independent Competitive Eaters.

I think everyone is allergic to beef.

I was about to say the same thing. I was a vegetarian for a couple years and after that the first time I ate beef it was just absolutely foul, I mean disgusting.
