the vehicle will probably require more gas because of the increased weight and we'd probably need to make more pit stops along the way... the nice thing about Pennsylvania you could stop just about........ oh nevermind!

Mad!
 
Mad cow, that is. ;)

Refer to the KFC version, here. Some charming bits of info in the news stories linked within.

This is virtually a Community Buzz 'big belly' thread now.
Aren't you worried about Mad Cow disease or other burger-related health issues from eating so much fa(s)t food? :D

I will be in the US (visiting home) later in November and if anyone is up for doing this I would be more than happy to trek from BWI (probably with a sister of mine in tow).

Late Spring / Early Summer...

Would be very :cool: to 'do', however want to wait until the next 'mileage earning' year... but a good excuse to hit the East Coast (AS flies into BOS, EWR & DCA) and trek out to PA... (and get some good mileage to boot)

And I got family in the area :D

I don't know that "pit stops" would be possible for a few days after the event . . .

It's either that or its opposite...pit stops might be all too frequent. I was looking at the menu and thinking that I could take down a 2-pounder by myself, since a bar in ACY that I know too well has 1-pounders that Ican usually put down with no trouble and an appetizer. I smother that burger in Cholula of course.

A 2-pounder wouldn't require any effort. Heck, that's a normal size burger in my book.

We need to go for the big game. 9+. Where have I typed that before...?

How about a Rachel Ray Special?

100lb burger... click here to watch the video

Mmmm, can I get a doggie bag?

--Russ :D

I've never ventured above 16 ounces (in a burger context...I'm a big fan of 20oz. strip steaks), so doubling that is somewhat adventurous. :)

Serious question. Can the human body actually hold 22 lbs of food?
Did this guy have to make some pits stops to make room in the tummy for this mass amount of food?

This truly sounds painful

ConciergeMike Oct 21, 2008 9:57 am

Look at the Nathan's hot dog eaters...how much does one of the dogs (with bun soaked in water as the competitors prefer them) weigh? Gotta be 3-4 ounces, no? Multiply that by 45 plus water weight. It's not 22 but it's close.

Is 15 pounds a good price for a hamburger in the United Kingdom?

Nope because I really limit my consumption of these stuff. :)

So do I... I've been living on bird feed since February.

A good burger every once in a while is really welcome!
