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."
Glad to hear it! There’s hope for Merry Ol’ England just yet!
Not that I wouldn't eat it.
Mmmmmmm...food porn...
SSSSHHHHHH! You’re not supposed to notice that.
After once Tackling (and failed only by time) the 4.5 Pound BIG TEXAN STEAK MEAL .. this looks like a wonderful appetizer.
lol! Why does one need a diet coke? :D
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If it has generous lettuce on it, it must be healthy!
Looks good to me, don’t think I could finish it in on one sitting.
Just hold the mayo.
How do they get 3.3 pounds? It’s only got 1 pd of meet, and that was probably the weight precooked? I have a hard time believing that buns, cooked bacon, cheese, lettuce and sauce weigh 2.3 pounds?
And it looks like two sandwiches stacked on top of each other.
Heart attack on a bun!
Thats whats funny. Fastfood salads are often higher in calories than a Big Mac or Whopper.
So this is what food will look like when we have socialized medicine?
Just imagine how hard she'd work for that cheeseburger.
Someone is looking for special sauce on a sesame seed bun.
She needs a pickle???
I can almost double the amount of calories in another burger.
The Fifth Third Burger that was served this year at the West Michigan Whitecaps game, and maybe also the high school and college football games there this fall.
The Fifth Third Burger is 4800 calories. It has 5 one-third pound patties, chili, salsa, 5 slices of American Cheese, nacho cheese, Fritos and topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo, Jalopenos optional.
If you want to see this thing on tv, watch the Travel Channel on September 30 (Tomorrow) at 10pm Eastern. Adam Richman was at Fifth Third Park around the beginning of July and ate it in 20 minutes.
OMG!! That’s horrible. No, I’m not a food NAZI — let people eat what they want, but I simply can’t imagine eating that much food in one sitting. I barely eat 1,800 calories a day, and I don’t eat hamburgers ... (yeah, I have no idea why I wondered into this thread.)
