The 4489 Calorie, 1.66 lb Burger
The Consumerist ^

Posted on 03/25/2009 7:41:12 AM PDT by Scythian



The West Michigan Whitecaps recently unveiled their new stadium menu and gloating at the top of it is the 4489 Calorie "Fifth Third Burger." This 1.66 pound piece of gastrointestinal wunder, named after team sponsor 5/3 Bank, costs $20 and feeds 1-4 people. If you eat it by yourself and finish it in one sitting, you get a free 5/3 tshirt. Said the team's marketing director, "It's something fun that people can understand."

Fifth Third’s Indiana regional office is 2 blocks down the street from my office. I think I’ll go to lunch there instead of the deli.

Wrong! The four basic food groups are... Salt, Sugar, Grease, and Alcohol.

Close! The 4 food groups are coffee, cigarettes, donuts & beer.

Sounds like a Challenge for Adam Richman from Travel Channel's Man vs. Food.

Good thing they're using pounds instead of kilograms.

Western Michigan's team is called the Broncos. Maybe it would have fewer calories if made from horsemeat.

Looks like it’s the same place as this one that “Wyatt’s Torch” posted earlier in the thread (see link). Note the red crosses on the hats.

No, but as Obama says-”I’m all ears”

Where is the Hat? That pic looks good.

The Hat

There are a number in the Los Angeles, San Gabriel Valley area (the San Gabriel Valley is north east of LA, the Rose Bowl is there.)

They also have a killer size serving of onion rings that's great!

Sorry I missed it while I was there.

My fave for pastrami and such in LA was Art’s Deli in the Valley.

“Every sandwich is a work of Art” is their motto.

Good stuff. Or at least it was back in the day....

Well, I missed that one.

Next time, if you go out there, just google The Hat pastrami and you'll find all the locations.

Does Cleveland have good food, too?

5/3 = 1.66. Very cute. I think my late dad, a math teacher, would have appreciated this.

Oh yeah-good chow in Cleveland. I don’t live there any more but....

Here’s a favorite of mine for discerning gourmets traveling there: (It’s also a favorite of Drew Carey BTW-in case you need a 2nd opinion)

Mmm..that’s In & Out Burger right? I had a Double-Double when I was in California a while ago. Delicious. :)
