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.

I hope it backfires and the company goes out of business for being so stupid.
Bacon-to-cheese ratio way too low - the weight of bacon should be at least twice that of the cheese (Swiss is good, Jarlsberg even better). And take off all the stupid salad crap...if you want a salad with your burger, it goes on the side, not between the buns! Only one vegetable is worthy to be on a great burger: broiled Portobello mushrooms. Yum!
"I think I'm in love!!"
And how is it going to get there?
When I was young, the saying was, "Eat your broccoli, eat your beets; don't you know that there are starving kids in India?"
My response to that was, "Well, if you get me a box, I'll ship it to them."
Now, if the restaurant had gone to some little village and taken all of their beef and vegetables to make this, then you'd have a point. But, since it wasn't theirs in the first place and the ingredients belonged to the restaurant, what right did the people of your hypothetical little village have to it?
How did they get the onions to stay on, epoxy?
Spot on!
Look closely at at all the vegetables on top. It looks they used teriyaki sticks to hold them. See where the sticks go into the top of the patty?
You lose! LOL!
I'm sure you're a real treat at your church when it comes to asking for volunteers to help with the soup kitchens or to assist in providing shelter at your church and transportation for those homeless looking for jobs.........I can just imagine your response to that.
Yea, I love your humanitarian attitude...........You're the classic conservative posterboy that Democrats love to flaunt when they lay claim that only they have empathy and compassion for the downtrodden.
Both of you can have my onions! They just don’t agree with me!
And you have pretty much confirmed it.......LOL!
I tried that once, when I was a kid....I don't remember anything right after that.
I never claimed they did....reread my post.
Yeah, that's the way I remember it going down as well ...
Yeah, I tried that once ... ONCE.
Useful idiot is too kind a term for the likes of you.
I agree, this is their money and their property. The way I look at this is that I am very happy we live in a country that has people that can do something to excess if they want to.
I like fast cars and own several. I like big houses and own several. I like fast boats. I like hot women. I like a good drink sometimes. I like to laugh and have fun. I work hard and pLay hard. Others prefer to sit on their asses. Not me, I’m a capitalist. The riches this country offers are boundless and limitless. That has allowed me to enrich the people around me too.
I applaud the big burger maker. We need them in the White House. What has happened in the republic the last few years has been sickening. Some Americans have forgotten that we can do what we can dream. Anything is possible. We just need to start thinking big again like the people that made this burger.
Excellent post!
OK I’ll take your onions and you can have my lettuce. So now I have double onions, double tomatoes and no pickles and no lettuce but keep your mitts off my mustard :D
Been there.... The place has really good normal food as well.
I've heard you say that about meat that wasn't even done dying yet.
