The Biggest Hamburger Ever

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.
