The Denny's Beer Barrel Pub Main Event Burger

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania is proud of its Main Event burger which costs $379, feeds up to 200 people, and takes 9 hours to prepare. The super-sized burger features an 80-pound beef patty, a 30-pound bun, 12 tomatoes and 160 slices of cheese. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub also throws on a pound each of lettuce, ketchup, mustard and mayo, stacks of pickles, and up to five onions. Special molds and stainless steel pans were created by TD Fabricating and Welding of Clearfield to accommodate the colossal-sized sandwich. The pans were designed to suit the behemoth burger's unique specifications and cost $500 to produce. People from all over the world have visited Denny's Beer Barrel Pub. "Every weekend we have someone new coming through our door," says owner Denny Leigey. "We've had people from Hong Kong, Korea, Australia, England, Ireland and Germany." The restaurant is also a favorite of competitive eating groups like The United Eaters of Pennsylvania. "Denny's is sort of our Mecca," said member Dave Schoffner. "We come here every year." When asked how many calories the world's largest hamburger contained, Mr. Leigey said he had no idea.

'Dennys Beer Barrel Pub' is a small restaurant and bar located in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. Its claim to fame is its large hamburgers. Owned by Denny Liegey Sr., the restaurant keeps expanding the size of their hamburgers to keep the record as having the biggest. It started with a 6-pound burger that contains about 5 pounds of toppings. Patrons take the challenge of trying to finish it in the allocated time. BWMC pharmacist Russell Fortney of Millersville, Maryland,weighing 200 pounds was the first person to successfully finish the 6-pound version.Kate Stelnick Eats 6-Pound Burger

Soon afterwards the restaurant introduced a bigger burger called the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, a two person challenge. This burger contains a 10.5 pound burger, 25 slices of cheese, a whole head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, 1.5 cups of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, mustard, and banana peppers all between one enormous hamburger bun.

On February 24, 2007 Denny introduced a 123 pound burger priced at $379. Besides an 80-pound burger, it contains a pound of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard, mayonnaise, 160 slices of cheese, five onions, 12 tomatoes, 2 pounds of banana peppers, 33 pickles, and a 30-pound bun. Dennys goal is to get the latest burger creation into the Guinness Book of World Records.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070227/ap_on_fe_st/huge_hamburger_1

Wow, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this! 80lbs is incredible. The pickles looked awesome sitting atop the bun. Yummy. I don't think I could eat even 1 pound, I'm already full just looking at the photos.

This is so unbelievable but it's true! I never seen a gigantic hamburger like this.. Awesome pictures. It makes my mouth feel so watery though I just had my dinner this evening. I don't know if there's Denny's Pub here.. I really want to try those giant burgers!

Thanks, Cheryl. You'll love Clearfield. One of my best friends lives there and I visited while the leaves were turning color. It was gorgeous! Hope you make it there... and be sure to grab a burger at Denny's!

This is a cool lens! I googled Clearfield to see where it is...we're possibly taking a trip out that way this fall and I'd love to stop in there!

I voted for the 2-pounder, that's all I could handle...lol! My chef's mind wonders, of course, how you keep that burger nice and juicy over a 9-hour preparation time. This is quite a mouthful of a lens, Kim. Yum! 5*s, fav'd and LRx10.
