Fifteen Pounds of Delicious Burger Goodness

Posted by Matt Jacobs, May 4, 2005 at 3:47 PM

File this entry under things that will either make you preemptively nauseous or salivate with delight. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, is now serving a 15-pound burger, the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, which comes with 11.5 pounds of meat, 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, and more. It can be yours for only $30.

The round mound of ground made its debut on the Today Show this morning. I didn't get a chance to witness it, but based on this photo, people seemed amused.

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub had offered a six-pound burger, with five pounds of toppings.

In February, a 100-pound female college student became the first to eat the burger within the three-hour time limit. One month later, a New Jersey diner introduced a 12.5-pound burger.

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub responded with the Belly Buster, which costs $30 retail.

Over the weekend, four men took the challenge but couldn't get through the entire burger.

There was no word on what happened to the burger after its TV appearance.
