Luna Pier Cook blogger Dave Liske (better known as LunaPierCook on Serious Eats) gave us a heads up about this mammoth one-pound burger found at Chateau Louise in Luna Pier, Michigan. He didn't delve into the specifics of how to get the whole thing into one's mouth, but he let us know how this ginormous meatball sandwich tastes:
The custom ground meat for the Chateau Burger gives it a distinctive flavor that's somewhat addicting. Also, with the burger itself ending up so large, "medium rare" means the inside is really more red than just pink. Imagine the inside of a large Filet Mignon that's been cooked medium rare. That's what you'll find inside this thing.
Big chunk of medium-rare meat? I like the sound of that.

How could a cheeseburger look so gooey and meat-splodey (that is, on the verge of exploding with meaty goodness) but pristine at the same time? Why must Matt Armendariz of food porn-laden MattBites taunt me with his green chile cheeseburger topped with roasted Hatch chilies? Why am I looking at this burger on an empty stomach? Excuse me while I sit in a corner and cry as my stomach rumbles in non-cheeseburger-filled sorrow.

OMG. I so want one of these. The folks at Green Olive Media were spurred to action by George Motz's book Hamburger America ("I've driven by here literally hundreds of times and never noticed it") and ended up taking the mouthwatering photo above. Are you supposed to eat the pickles as is or move them inside the sandwich? A largely academic question, I'd say, since I'd eat the crap out of this thing either way. [via Photograzing]

Despairing at the thought of shelling out five bucks for yet another bad bag of hamburger buns, Vanessa of What Geeks Eat had the brilliant idea to make her own. Humanity may now be one step closer to achieving the perfect burger.
