A U.S. restaurant famous for cooking up giant hamburgers has outdone itself.

The Detroit News reports that Mallie's Sports Grill & Bar made a 338-pound (153-kilogram) "Absolutely Ridiculous Burger" on Thursday. A crowd gathered to salivate over the unveiling of the $2,000 menu item.

The sandwich packs 540,000 calories and takes 22 hours to cook. Manager Jason Jones says the burger, which has 15 pounds of lettuce, 30 pounds of bacon, 30 pounds of tomatoes and 36 pounds of cheese, comes with fries and a drink.

Quite stupid isn’t it?

Just an advertising gimmick that doesn’t deserve anyone’s attention.

That burger patty is WAY overdone. A hamburger is only good if it has juices seeping into the bun. And yeah, what a waste. Not like they can keep it on display. At least with those Guinness record breaking events they usually serve up the food to the crowd at the end.

What an idiotic waste of food.

Why? It's just another form of advertising. More importantly, that food is their property for them to use as they see fit.

I do too from a standpoint that that amount of beef and vegetables could probably feed a village somewhere in this world

Why should it? That food is the property of the owners and they are free to do with it as they see fit.

Well, you can keep your dry, tomato-less, mayo-less burger. But you’re missing out on the good stuff.

Swap the pickles for jalapeno slices and the tomatoes are yours.

You just don't get it do you? I suspect you do but are too f'n arrogant and self absorbed to admit it...........It's always got to be about politics and capitalism doesn't it?

You do a nice job of living up (down?) to your tagline.
