The most ridiculous burger I’ve had
Like this post?
I went to lunch with some guys from work today. I ordered the same thing they did and unwittingly ended up with this:
It’s “The Supreme” from The Nook and it’s absolutely uncalled for.
There weren’t any seats, so we tailgated at Zach‘s truck. People got fatter just driving by us.
After we were done, Drew noted that he felt like he was going to birth a calf. I asked if anyone else felt a slight twinge of guilt after this absurd gorging. Zach said No; he thinks he accidentally ate his conscience.
What’s really scary is that some of you probably look at this and think, That’s the most ridiculous burger you’ve had. Please.
Well, alright, big shot, what’s your burger story?

Oh, my! <:-O

Here’s one my husband ordered one evening unknowingly but finished it all.
I hate two 1/3lb hamburgers for lunch during most of my teenager years. I’m still working them off.
Yeah, so that’s making me hungry just looking at it.
Most meals I figure I should pray both before *and* after: before, to give thanks for the food. After, to repent of my gluttony.
At least it came with lettuce. It could be more ridiculous if slathered with peanut butter– a delicacy at our local burger joint.
Ok. That’s weird.
I’ve eaten my share of “1 LB burgers”, but the most interesting one is incredibly cheap. $2.20 to be exact. You take a McDonald’s double cheeseburger and open it up between the two patties. Then you stick a Spicy McChicken sandwich in there (the whole thing) and put the burger back together. Awesome sandwich.
That’s foul.
…or Fowl.
Or you can always put a half pound cheeseburger patty between 2 Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Crappy sandwich + Crappy sandwich = Giant Crappy Sandwich
Wait…Are you the Zach?!
I worked at McDonalds when I was younger, and we would make our own crazy burgers and test them. This is similar to something we did. We called it the “Teenage Wasteland”. Good stuff.
For the record: Burgers with peanut butter are amazing. Put a big dollop of peanut butter on the patty and then let the cheese melt over it. It creates a pocket of peanut buttery bliss.
BAM!
I don’t eat meat… but peanut butter is good on everything. Maybe I should try this with a veggie burger?
I don’t have a story as such, but the picture on the homepage of Primanti brothers pretty much tells the tale. If you’re ever in Pittsburgh, you ought to check it out.

Louisville, KY – Genny’s Diner – Sweet Daddy Burger

There’s a local place down here in Mississippi that has a burger. 3 pounds of meat (6 1/2 pound patties), six slices of cheese, peanut butter and all the toppings, topped off by a onion ring.
Its free if you can eat it in 12 minutes. I’ve seen two attempts, neither came close. It is colossal. There are about 10 pictures on the wall though.
Please tell me you’re taking one home to Molly?? I saw her post about nursing mom hunger, and one of those, assuming she loves ALL food right now, would soooo hit the spot.
THANK YOU, Crystal!! When I saw these pictures I thought, “How unfair! I could eat like 3 of those right *now*!” Perhaps someday I’ll leave the house again. :-)
LOL! My little man is 4 months old, and I’m STILL starving. But I’m trying to lose the weight….so, it’s a frustrating time. Those pics were soooo unfair. I was salivating for a good hour afterwards.
Two words: The. Counter.
Try a 2/3 lb burger with goat cheese, sauteed mushrooms & onions, roasted red peppers, pickles, bacon, and a fried egg to boot. Solid.

There’s also Flip Burger down here in Atlanta. My personal favorite is the Butcher Burger: caramelized onion, bleu cheese, red wine jam, frisée, pickled shallots.
Or the rBQ Burger: smoked brisket on top of a beef patty. Masculine.
And top it off with a Krispy Kreme milkshake.

The quadruple bypass from the Vortex in Atlanta Ga.
The buns are whole grilled cheese sandwiches. 6 strips of bacon, 1/2lb of meat, 2 fried eggs, 6 pieces of cheese, then your typical lettuce/tomato/pickle options.
My brother and I split it and it was amazing.
To settle a bet I once ate three double cheeseburgers with lettuce and tomato and a large fry bag at Five Guys. I had meat flavored burps for two days.
Five Guys is so good!
yummm…five guys…
Okay – so just to clarify: you did LIKE the burger, right? You look kinda happy in the pictures. :)
It started out OK and then steadily convinced me to order something different next time.
good night…just by reading this blog i feel like i’ve gained a thunder thigh…

Lolcats across the globe salute you, sir!
My husband used to work at Burger King during his college years. His average lunch burger was basically a Whopper with a patty of every other kind of meat added to it–including the breakfast meats–along with two more burger patties and about a quarter of a pound of cheese. The only thing that kept him from collapsing is the fact that his metabolism was so overcranked, he needed 5,000 calories just to maintain his 115 pounds. (I am NOT exaggerating, I have fed him for 15 years…)
I’m imagining your burger with the addition of an egg fried in bacon fat and chili. (and add the bacon, too)

hey, aber. we went to this joint in clearfield, pa.

the burger i ate was 1/2 lb AFTER being cooked. i still want to die when i think about it…(to my credit, forfeited half the bun, but still…)
just so ya know, it was the smallest burger i could order. and i saw a few gross people order 1 pounders, which with all the accoutrement were actually 2lbs. and that’s not including the fries. ugh.
zach eating his conscience makes the whole experience and post worth it.
In Scotland, that’s a salad.
Yes, I was thinking – these crazy Americans…
And then I thought: Wait a minute – I come from Scotland, home of deep fried pizza, deep fried steak pie and deep fried mars bar…

My 18th Birthday cake… Nindigully Pub, South West Queensland
There’s a place called Tookie’s in Seabrook, Texas, that just reopened after hurricane Ike tore it up. They serve a burger called “The Squealer,” which has bacon cut up right there in the patty. I’m drooling just thinking about it.
