This lovely specimen of "burger gone too far," the Double Cheeseburger Po-Boy, is from Louisiana-based chain Po-Boy Express. This 14-inch double cheeseburger contains eight six-ounce patties for a total of three pounds. There's also a single hamburger po-boy in case you only want 1.5 pounds of beef. Certainly not the most extreme example of a burger, but I think it's the first time I've seen a commercially available burger in sub sandwich-form. [This Is Why You're Fat]
not really that great though. they overcook their patties and the bun ratio is way off. and unless you want to eat it in the parking lot the whole thing will probably be a soggy mess by the time you get it home. done right it could be a good idea though.
I used to get cheeseburger subs at T. Anthony's Pizza on Comm Ave in Boston all the time.
Either the excellent chicken parm subs, or cheeseburger subs.
A cheeseburger sub is awesome. It's like a cheeseburger, only it lasts longer and the bun almost never disintegrates. And you can stuff it full of shredded lettuce and it won't fall out and stays crispy, unlike leafs of lettuce, which can get soggy and gross.
You need to visit Maryland. Cheeseburger subs are everywhere. Here's one of the best:
Ann’s Dari Crème – 7918 Ritchie Hwy, Glen Burnie
A local institution; since 1951 Ann’s has been serving hot tasty foot longs and burgers. The cheeseburger sub “all the way” (with mustard, onions, relish and chili) is simply a visit to heaven for hamburger cognoscente. Ann’s rolls have a wonderful chewy texture with crunchy crust. The 4 patties and American cheese slices on the whole cheeseburger sub require two to handle its notable dimensions.

Despite the abnormal proportions the bread actually looks like the perfect white squishy bun.
