They’ve had the same deal at a place here in Portland for the last 50 years - literally. Current price is $60. It’s a bad idea, no matter what state it’s in.

So…is that the Big Oregonean?

Restaurant Waldgeist in Hofheim, Germany serves huge burgers as well, along with a glass of beer to match.

Going to nitpick: it’s Apfelwein.

I guess he’ll need all the help he can get to digest that burger…

From the look of the stress on his shirt buttons, he won’t be able to wear it if he puts that burger down.

Especially if he has just one “wafer-thin mint” after all that…

That’s a normal sized burger and beer, it is just a “little person”

That “little person” needs to go up a couple sizes shirt-wise!

the Fuddruckers in the Foxwoods casino in Connecticut unveiled a 29.6 pound burger (What, they couldn’t add a few pickles and onions to push it over the 30 mark?). Guinness was on hand to verify the beast, which goes for $250 and has to be ordered 48 hours in advance. That’s it above in all of its rather colorless, unappetizing glory

Bob’s BBQ & Grill of Pattaya, Thailand has smashed the current record for producing the world’s biggest burger. The landmark in cheeseburger history was created in celebration of the king of Thailand’s 60th year accession to the throne and was part of a wide range of events being held all year in Thailand to mark the occasion.

The unveiling of the massive burger was witnessed by a local TV crew and officials from Ripley’s Believe it or Not who recorded the burger’s weight at a whopping 78.5 pounds which eclipses the previous record of 50 pounds held by Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Pennsylvania, US. Measuring 60 CM (23.5 inches) in diameter and 35 CM (13.75 inches) in height, the burger has been named Big Bob’s Texas Belt Buster and is on the regular menu and can be ordered 12 hours in advance.
