SOUTHGATE, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit-area restaurant owner believes he has broken the world record for "largest hamburger commercially available."
After 12 hours of preparation and baking, the 134-pound burger emerged Saturday at Mallie's Sports Bar and Grill.
The "Absolutely Ridiculous Burger," made with beef, bacon and cheese, was delivered on a 50-pound bun, The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press reported. It sells for $350, and orders require 24 hours' notice.

Ya gonna need abs of steel and biceps of carbon fiber to hoist the dang thing.

I wonder if it is really able to be eaten. The meat looks quite charred. I guess it would be hard to know how to cook a burger like that.

Like a roasted pig I suppose. Don't know.

Isn't that like a half a cow? Geesh...who would want to order one? Really, how good could it be?

If he plans to serve it he would have to make sure it's done enough to kill any bacteria especially with ground meat towards the middle. I would think it would be best to brown the outside then put it in the oven like a giant squished meatball.
