May 18, 2010: New record burger
http://cellar.org/2010/recordburger2.jpg
The Cellar IotD always notices record burgers, and here is the new record burger that totally outdoes all previous. Denny's Beer Barrel, you've been put on notice. This effort, run in Toronto by Canuck celebrity griller Ted Reader, resulted in a 590 pound burger which eclipses the previous record by more than double. It required a custom grill, a crew of ten, and raised $8500 for charity. http://cellar.org/2010/recordburger1.jpg Too many onions for me personally... they await the official notice from the Guinness folks. link |
I'd love to see them flip that thing! Can you imagine the spatula?
|
Yes, but that's 590 Canadian lbs.
|
I said I wanted it rare!!! Make me a new one!!!
|
!
I live in Toronto! There is a tomato shortage when you go to a fast food places there's signs up saying you cant have any . Looks like they can't either!:yelsick:
|
Big food is gross.
|
So is food that comes in a bucket.
|
Doctors without Borders, those who help rebuild homes in Louisiana and schools in Africa... Suckers!
Building a giant burger is a true testament to what we can accomplish when working together:rolleyes: Let's see, cost of meat, condiments, custom stove, labor, time, etc, I'll bet came close to the amount raised for "charity". Adding insult to injury, I'll bet this 590lbs of meat ends up in the garbage.:eyebrow: |
where are all the outraged europeans?
|
I won't be impressed until they garnish it with a tomato, an onion, and some lettuce that is in scale with the burger.
|
For whatever reason, anytime I see giant food like this (which I used to think was cool, now, not so much), this joke runs through my head:
Didja hear about the Ethiopian who fell into the alligator pit? He ate three of them before they could get him out. And what the hell do you do with this giant-ass burger now? I don't think you can slice it up into White Castles and pass 'em out too easily. And think what it must've cost! As I said, I used to dig stuff like this, but it seems like a lot of time, effort, and money for not a whole lot of return. |
feed it to the pigs, and then eat the bacon.
|
Too much absinthe right now makes the burger appleal too much both in an edible and sexual way
|
Yeah, but I hear it makes the heart grow fonder.
|
I suppose that to eat that thing, you'll have to use a chainsaw as knife.
European, I am. Outraged ? Not really. At least this is for a charity. But I am curious, who got to eat that big burger ? If it's really a charity, I hope some homeless people had a feast. |
That thing really looks disgusting.:vomitblu::vomit::dead3:
|
Anytime someone makes a thing which has no remarkable qualities whatsoever, aside from being larger than any previous one, it just seems so desperate and pathetic.
It's like Hey, I'm not clever enough to improve it, so I just made it BIGGER!! :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: |

Hobos have developed germ resistance thru a steady diet of Dumpster Divin's tm. They'll be fine...
|
Hobos are a hardy lot!

I am just thinking about the heartburn those yummy sweet onions would give me . . . :thepain:

Wait a dadburn minute. What the heck are you doing talking about tomatoes, spud? Are you saying to beware of tomatoes too?
|
Nah, just stating that tomatoes have been in short supply lately. There hasn't been a shortage of potatoes since the English caused the Irish potato famine. The potatoes have been retaliating against humans ever since. Now potato bugs have joined the conspiracy!

Oh my gawd what is that thing? I could only watch a few seconds before I almost threw up, and the sound was off. That ain't like no potato bug I ever saw. :eek:
|
Yeah that's just a standard potato bug. I believe they are also called Jerusalem Beetles.
There I was, a 4 year old, riding down a Massachusetts road in the back of my family's Buick when something came in the window and landed in my hair. I reached up to grab it only to discover I was holding one of those things in my fingers... My big brother was barely able to keep me from jumping out of the moving vehicle. |
I thought potato bugs were just like little beetles.
These things exist? They're like mini camel spiders. Yuck! Maybe we don't have them, I've never seen one. Thank FSM. |
It's a whole other scary universe where spuds come from.
|
First time I ever saw a potato bug it was coming after me at a campfire I was sitting at alone. We were in a canyon in NM and Jim and gone off to help some friends get to their tent (they had to cross a river in the pitch black and were scared).
I screamed like a woman and killed it with fire. It was awful. |
they're like some nightmarish combination of a cricket, a fire ant and a wasp. blech.
|

|
JEEZUZ MOTHER OF GAWD.
:worried: |
Potato bugs are the reason God created combat boots!
|
They really are kinda sweet bugs.. They look a little bewildered and comical with the white rings around their bodies. They really don't want any part of us.
Now earwigs? They succck! |
Don't even get me started on those nasty little earwigs.
|
That burger looks delicious... I love how the meat is slightly charred on the outside... much like a well-cooked BBQ Burger. I bet it eats well.
Now, to figure a way of getting 590lbs of burger into my mouth, then my stomach, without it destroying my 180lbs body... Hm... |
How about eating the 590 lb potato bug?
|
Sounds crunchy. I'm eating pasta salad, right now, and there are chunks of cucumber in it. I shall pretend that they're potato bugs.
