He's gotta eat it
This disgusting story reminds me of a life-long dream of mine:
CLEARFIELD, Pa. - The burger war is growing. Literally. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, which lost its crown as the home of the world's biggest burger earlier this year, is now offering a new burger that weighs a whopping 15 pounds.
Dubbed the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, the burger comes with 10.5 pounds of ground beef, 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, a cup-and-a-half each of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, mustard and banana peppers — and a bun.
Fifteen pounds! Crimony! I wouldn't even want to think of how anybody could possibly eat all that. There's going to be some nasty digestive problems for whoever attempts it.
However, despite the ugliness of such a thing, wouldn't that be cool? I see it in movies all the time - The Great Outdoors comes to mind - where an inky dink restaurant has a gigantic steak for sale, and whoever can eat it gets the steak for free and some sort of commemorative t-shirt.
It has always been my dream to try that. I do not know how much I could eat, and I can't say I've ever tried. I've pigged out on many an occasion, but never to see how much I could gobble without getting sick. I think I could eat five pounds of steak without a sweat, but I don't know if that's enough to get me any free stuff.

I'm getting this mental image of the exploding glutton from "The Meaning of Life."
