Pa. Restaurant Creates 123-Pound Burger

The newest addition to the menu at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub is one whopper of a burger. The Beer Barrel Main Event Charity Burger weighs in at 123 pounds, a meaty monstrosity that its cooks maintain shatters the world record of 105 pounds shared by two restaurants in New Jersey and Thailand.


The sizable sandwich features an 80-pound beef patty, along with a pound each of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard and mayonnaise, 160 slices of cheese, up to five onions and 12 tomatoes.


It's topped with a couple of pounds of banana peppers, then sandwiched into a 30-pound bun. Don't forget the garnish of 33 pickles.


There's a pretty hefty price tag, too: $379.


The Clearfield pub unveiled the menu item over the weekend. Restaurant owner Denny Leigey said he plans to submit paperwork on his colossal culinary creation to the Guinness Book of World Records.


It's not the first time that Leigey has waded into the competition for the world's biggest burger. He drew headlines a couple years ago when he unveiled the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, which weighed in at a mere 15 pounds.


Leigey said he didn't know how many calories were stuffed into his latest gigantic entree.


"If you were worried about calories you would be at home eating Kellogg's," he said.

I'm so tired of this place making the news for silly crap. They do make decent wings.

Do we have so much food in North America that we have to waste it by making ridiculous sized burgers? Eat all you can, but that's just being wasteful.

I don't think it's an eat it and you get it free type thing. This would be awesome to have at party if I had more than three friends.

This burger is a bargain, even with the measly 5 onions. It can't be all that good with only 5 onions.

Anyway, isn't a quarter-pounder w/ cheese like $3.00? That makes 4 x $3 x 123=$1,476 for the same thing at McDonald's.

This place is going to go out of bidness selling these things.
