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."
Big deal. This is probably just a snack for Adam Richman (Man v. Food, Travel Channel).
GOOD! (psyche!.....thought I was going to say something else huh?) 
I misspoke. I recently ate a tofu burger (on a whole wheat bun, of course) ... (I didn’t like it — but that’s another story)
>> ...I didn’t like [the tofu burger]...
Thank goodness! We reached you before it’s too late! There’s hope! Stick with us, girl! Nurse, 100mg of saturated beef fat IV, STAT!!!
The picture looks like two burgers, maybe the Carl's Jr. (Hardees) Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger. And maybe a pound of meat all together.
There used to be a place near here called Hi Yu Hee Hee, and they claimed to serve the worlds largest hamburger. It was a single, very large patty in an equally large bun. Indeed, it covered a whole dinner plate and I'd have to guess it was at least a pound of meat. I ate one maybe 40 years ago when I was 11 or 12. I was a big eater when I was a kid, there's no way I could do it now.
I shouldn't be eating them but these days I'm quite fond of the Dairy Queen 1/2 lb. Flamethrower Burger, and also the Burger King Double Angry Whopper. Nobody around here serves burgers the way I like them best, but at home I'll skip the Jalapenos and rather throw on some of the big green Ortega chilis. Of course I also use real Monterrey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese. It goes great with a Sol or Corona to help wash it down.
When the two banks originally merged they briefly considered "Third Fifth", but wisely thought better of it.
I’ll take a Diet Coke with that.
Supper for six!
Rolling on the grill laughing my dog off!
Is it just me or do I see two complete burgers with buns stacked? That’s cheating. I could pile a bunch of MacDonalds Cheeseburgers and make my own.
Ah, the orange hand print of Cheetos stamped all over the leather recliner seats in the living room, courtesy of my Four Year old.
At least your four year old has an excuse, being only four.
For some dumb reason, I get most of my Cheetos cravings while I’m on long road trips. Having no willpower, I give in. However bad they are at a backyard barbecue, or in the house, they’re that much worse in a car! You’d think I’d learn...
