CLEARFIELD, Pa. (AP) - The burger war is growing. Literally. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, which lost its crown as the home of the world's biggest burger earlier this year, is now offering a new burger that weighs a whopping 15 pounds.
Dubbed the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, the burger comes with 10.5 pounds of ground beef, 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, a cup-and-a-half each of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, mustard and banana peppers - and a bun.
It costs $30.
"It can feed a family of 10," said Denny Liegey Sr., the restaurant's owner.
Denny's Beer Barrel Pub had offered a 6-pound burger - with 5 pounds of toppings.
In February, a 100-pound female college student became the first to eat the burger within the three-hour time limit. Kate Stelnick, of Princeton, N.J., was awarded a special certificate, a T-shirt and other prizes and Leigey picked up the $23.95 tab for the burger.
One month later, the Clinton Station Diner in Clinton, N.J., introduced a 12.5-pound burger dubbed Zeus.
So Liegey responded, and the Belly Buster was born.
Over the weekend, four men took the challenge, but couldn't get through the entire burger. They opted for doggie bags, instead.
"It's a little too much for me to handle," said Steve Hepburn, of Clearfield. "It's like trying to eat half a cow."

So, basically, it's a party sub made of hamburger.

Heard on the radio this morning that the burger is 20" in diameter and 3-4 inches thick.

Good grief, man! That's the nuclear posting option -- it could have started a mass hurl here in the coffeeshop where I sit if anyone saw it.

This thing has got to be a money losing proposition. If people were smart, 4 people would order one of these and 4 sodas and have a full meal for about 10 bucks each with leftover burger.
Makes you wonder of the quality of the ingredients, eh?
"ground beef" -- could be almost anything cow related.

Dude, I sell cows on the hoof - $5 a pound gets you kosher black angus, ranging from standing rib roasts to ground beaf.
Call it $6 a pound, dressed out.
How many tons do you want?

My father’s mother’s mother’s father was a Lewis from Clearfield County, whence my name. I couldn’t be more proud.
