It might be a record-breaker. The restaurant plans to add the freakish hamburger to its menu for $350. The price includes fries and soda. (Detroit Free Press)

Damn more fat chicks in the Detroit area. That's all we need.

How long till Burger King starts serving this and they have a commercial where some nut goes "What do you mean you don't make the 134 pound burger anymore? I want my 134 pound burger!!"?

How do you cook a burger that big? Could you cook it on a grill and still make sure the inside got done? Slow cook it? In the oven?

I was wondering how long it would take them to cook that meat all the way through.

I guess they could cook it on the grill with indirect heat. That's how I make my brisket and pork shoulder. But the largest thing I have ever cooked was 15 lbs - not 134.

This story has some other details:

They started cooking it at 4 am and ended at 4:20 pm (just in time for munchies). So 12 hours. Also, the patty "required three men using two steel sheets to flip it".

Just looking at the monster burger made my arteries clog up.

Why?

Yeah hi. I'd like to order a 134 pound burger with fries... and a Diet Coke.

The giant burger gained the restaurant thousands of dollars worth of free advertising.

So now Fuddruckers is going to have to make a bigger one. They currently hold the largest burger.
What I don't understand though is that Fuddruckers big one cost 250 dollars and weights in just under 30lbs but for 100 bucks more you get another 100 plus pounds of food. I wonder what kind of cow they are using.
If I want a nice big fat juicy burger though I got to Ruby Tuesdays. They have some pretty damn tasty burgers.

It's a great promotional idea. It's put the restaurant on the Detroit map and even further. I can see lots of folks arranging birthday parties, etc. for their sports nut friends, inviting 40 or so and chowing down while watching a game. There are so many guys that would be heaven for.

Is angioplasty included in the price, or is that a seperate charge?
Posted by: Jeff | Monday, February 25, 2008 at 08:51 AM
I notice that it looks like they are bringing it in on a stretcher.
That being said, I could see a high school football team finishing this thing off - and it would be a bargain.

Somehow I expected it to be bigger. Seems awfully compact for 134 lbs.

TAG...
This is the type of cow they're using:

it would have been cool if instead of a tiny toothpick sword to hold the regular sized burger to the top, it came with an actual sword to hold the regular sized burger to the top!

So how big are the included fries and pop?
Order one of these for a *huge* party, and feed 300-400 folks a meal they won't soon forget for about $1 a head.
