IotD first covered
Denny's Beer Barrel Pub's 9 pound burger, who held the record at I think 50 lbs. IotD covered the
Bob's BBQ in Thailand, and their 100 pounder which broke that record. IotD covered
Clinton Station Diner in New Jersey and their 105-pound record-breaker.
IotD now celebrates the original Denny's who now take the record back with this 123-pounder. Congrats Denny!

local story says
Quote:
To create the Bismarck of burgers, Denny's Beer Barrel Pub used 80 pounds of ground Angus beef, a 30-pound bun baked on the premises, 3 pounds of lettuce, 160 slices of cheese, 10-12 tomatoes, 4-5 onions, several jars of peppers, one pound each of ketchup, mayonnaise, relish and mustard and 30 dill pickle spears. The ingredients alone cost approximately $200, said Denny Leigey, owner of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub.
The restaurant also had to have special molds and stainless steel pans made at TD Fabricating and Welding of Clearfield at a cost of approximately $500 to accommodate the super-sized burger.
The meat was cooked overnight for 6-8 hours in an oven, but a special heat shield had to be constructed on the oven because the burger was too large for the regular oven door to close properly, said Mr. Leigey.

And one note tells you Denny is preparing for any uppity competition:

Mr. Leigey said he is having a special pan made to correct this problem so the heat shield will not be needed in the future.

Bring it on.
