May 18, 2010: New record burger

Undertoad · 05-18-2010, 11:20 AM

The Cellar IotD always notices record burgers, and here is the new record burger that totally outdoes all previous. Denny's Beer Barrel, you've been put on notice.

This effort, run in Toronto by Canuck celebrity griller Ted Reader, resulted in a 590 pound burger which eclipses the previous record by more than double. It required a custom grill, a crew of ten, and raised $8500 for charity.

Too many onions for me personally... they await the official notice from the Guinness folks.

I'd love to see them flip that thing! Can you imagine the spatula?

HungLikeJesus · 05-18-2010, 12:22 PM

Yes, but that's 590 Canadian lbs.

Sheldonrs · 05-18-2010, 12:43 PM

I said I wanted it rare!!! Make me a new one!!!

I live in Toronto! There is a tomato shortage when you go to a fast food places there's signs up saying you cant have any . Looks like they can't either!

Big food is gross.

glatt · 05-18-2010, 01:34 PM

So is food that comes in a bucket.

Doctors without Borders, those who help rebuild homes in Louisiana and schools in Africa... Suckers!

Building a giant burger is a true testament to what we can accomplish when working together

Let's see, cost of meat, condiments, custom stove, labor, time, etc, I'll bet came close to the amount raised for "charity".

Adding insult to injury, I'll bet this 590lbs of meat ends up in the garbage.

where are all the outraged europeans?

Shawnee123 · 05-18-2010, 03:04 PM

I won't be impressed until they garnish it with a tomato, an onion, and some lettuce that is in scale with the burger.

For whatever reason, anytime I see giant food like this (which I used to think was cool, now, not so much), this joke runs through my head:

Didja hear about the Ethiopian who fell into the alligator pit?

He ate three of them before they could get him out.

And what the hell do you do with this giant-ass burger now? I don't think you can slice it up into White Castles and pass 'em out too easily. And think what it must've cost! As I said, I used to dig stuff like this, but it seems like a lot of time, effort, and money for not a whole lot of return.

glatt · 05-18-2010, 04:52 PM

feed it to the pigs, and then eat the bacon.

Too much absinthe right now makes the burger appleal too much both in an edible and sexual way

kerosene · 05-18-2010, 10:06 PM

Yeah, but I hear it makes the heart grow fonder.

I suppose that to eat that thing, you'll have to use a chainsaw as knife.

European, I am. Outraged ? Not really. At least this is for a charity. But I am curious, who got to eat that big burger ? If it's really a charity, I hope some homeless people had a feast.
