A British fast-food restaurant is hailing its signature dish, the Super Scooby, as the country's largest and most fattening burger.
Officials with the Jolly Dryer restaurant in Bristol, England, said the 2,645-calorie burger includes four 1/4-pound beef patties, eight strips of bacon, eight cheese slices, 12 onion rings, three sauces and a generous serving of lettuce, Sky News reported Monday.
Nick Lomvardos, 42, owner of the restaurant, said the 3.3 pound sandwich has yet to leave a customer hungry.
"None of our customers have ever been disappointed by the Super Scooby," he said. "We have never heard of a bigger one being served up anywhere else and we are challenging any big eaters to come along and finish one. If you can manage that then we'll give you a free can of Diet Coke. I have never tried eating one myself but I'd struggle to finish one half the size."
That’s a bit much even for me, and I’m totally down with a Wendy’s Baconator or Hardee’s Frisco Burger. Looks yummy though! And hey, it’s got lettuce, that’s got to cancel out some of the fat, right? Right?

It needs an intermediate burger layer to complete the stack.
:-{)
Their babyback ribs contain 2,260 calories BEFORE you include the additional items that come with it such as potato, fries, or a salad. Throw in the potato and salad and you are over 3,300 calories.
And its a meal that can be easily consumed by nearly everyone.
Hell, Macaroni Grill's spagetti and meatballs has over 2,400 calories.
Hell, the Baskin Robbins Oreo Shake tops out over 2,600 calories.
This burger, for all its impressive size and visual impact, is actually not all that bad compared to other things that people eat every day. Sometimes multiples of them.
>> it looks like nothing more than two bacon double cheeseburgers piled on top of one another.
It’s those 3” (4 places) sheetrock screws holding the top and bottom burgers together that make this-un a unique challenge for the hearty eater.
“Butter that bacon boy!”
“But Dad, it makes my heart hurt.”
Fifth Third is the worst bank name in history.
>> I barely eat 1,800 calories a day, and I don’t eat hamburgers
Go away! You’re spoiling the curve. Isn’t there a “willpower” discussion thread you can dominate? :-)
A family-size (21.5 oz) bag of Cheetos has about 800 more calories than this burger. I could probably finish the Cheetos in one extended sitting; I can't say I would do as well with the burger.
Did someone say bacon?

Maybe so, but about 900 calories worth of glorious orange goo ends up on your fingers (and jeans) before you’re done with the bag.
“......a generous serving of lettuce.”
See, right there!!! That’s what makes it healthy.
Now, swap the coke for a beer and you have a heart healthy health food.
Give me one....
Silly Brits, can’t even tell when they are buying two hamburgers!
That’s the pic I was looking for.
