Steel your stomach for 'world's biggest burger'

Steel your stomach for 'world's biggest burger'

There's super-sizing, and there's super-sizing - and then there's this gut-busting attempt at a record-breaking hamburger.

This not-so-fast food weighs in at a hefty 134lb for the burger, slapped inside a 50lb bun, and needs to be ordered 24 hours in advance.

And any diner giving in to temptation - or taking up the challenge of tucking in - will be hit by a bill for $350.

The mighty meal - dubbed "The Absolutely Ridiculous Burger" - is being served up at Mallie's Sports Bar and Grill in Detroit, Michigan.

Owner Steve Mallie is waiting to discover whether he has indeed won a Guinness World Records honour for the largest hamburger commercially available.

Pennsylvania firm Denny's Beer Barrel Pub currently holds the record, for their 123lb creation.

What a monster! It makes Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub burgers look lilliputian and they are huge.

That’s the new one for charity. It would take all of my rugby team a few hours to eat this monster. I bet that is a fun place to go to.

It’s an interesting photo, but man, what a waste of food unless you’ve got a 100-150 people who all want a burger.
