Pa. Eatery Offers New 15-Pound 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."

Who wants a bet on the first restaurant to bring back the Roman Vomitoriums?

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

What if they allowed you to eat it on a makeshift toilet?

[Furiously]

Food Network had the top 10 places to stuff yourself. I think the predecessor of this burger was one of them. I was just happy to see Beth's Cafe listed as well. (They make a sick 12 Egg Omelet).

I can't imagine eating that much food. It would stop being good after the first 10 bites.

[HaemishM]

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!

I got progressively sicker the more I read.

Can't imagine eating it, and I'm a big eater.

[Samwise]

I think I could take 6 pounds of beef.  Probably not 10.  And the toppings would definitely do me in either way.

I think America is taking gluttony and sloth to new levels unheard of in ancient times. Wake up with the King. Then, there's no need for walking around your office. Afterwards, have a fry-dog.

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

[MrHat]

Honestly? I'm craving a hamburger now.

I am American.  Hear me eat.

[MrHat]

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

Yes.  But they seem to have more hate than us.

This is unacceptable.

[HaemishM]

Jesus God, it's like the Japanese made a monster movie about the evils of American commercialism. Only with rednecks.

Secretsauce!

My god, that's 20 minutes from here, I think lunch for the department is on me in the near future... I may need to see this puppy first hand!

(it's sad that this is the topic that pushes me beyond just being a lurker here, isn't it?... food rules my life  )

[Paelos]

Make sure to take pictures.

[voodoolily]

Dang but I love a good hamburger.

"It can feed a family of 10," said Denny Liegey Sr., the restaurant's owner.

Clearly this guy hasn't spent much time in Oregon. That fucker would feed a family of four here because our residents are hell of large and in charge.

[MaceVanHoffen]

I think I could take 6 pounds of beef.

I bet you could, you little whore.

[Rasix]

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

[Roac]

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

Or else move Lou to Useless News.

Definitely the latter. Of course, I could say that about almost any "mainstream" media outlet now.

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

Are you sure she wasn't just saying that so she wouldn't have to get the hot beef injections?

That is the sadest thing I have heard today. Maybe all week. So can you take a claritin and enjoy the cow or what?

[MrHat]

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.

Same thing with carbs.  I did the atkins thing very strictly for a few months and the first time I ate some bread I literally got dizzy and had to go lie down.

[WayAbvPar]

That was pleasure you were experiencing. After so long on Atkins, there is little wonder you didn't recognize the sensation.
