There's one thing all burgers have in common, and that's no secret: they're mind-blowingly tasty. It is one of the most iconic foods out there, offering the ideal flavorful and satisfying punch. Though, the best burgers in the world differ in style, form, ingredients, and size.
Some restaurants have kept in mind the "bigger is better" concept, producing gigantic burger choices that require special spatulas to turn, staff to carry, and a whole bunch of people to finish.
Breathe deeply, and let's immerse ourselves in some of the most popular and biggest hamburgers in the world. Turn back now, vegans and vegetarians, for this is not a safe place for you.
World’s Biggest Burger - Black Bear Casino Resort
The bacon cheeseburger at the Black Bear Casino Resort was 10 feet in diameter and weighed 2,014 pounds, smashing the existing Guinness World Record of 881 pounds and 13 ounces in the largest one-off event category for burgers.
60 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of sliced onion, 40 pounds of pickles, 50 pounds of lettuce, and 40 pounds of cheese-filled the burger. It was cooked in a massive outdoor oven custom-built and took around four hours.
It took seven hours for the bun to bake. Also built were steel skillets measuring 15 feet. During the cooking and assembly procedure, a crane was used to lift and toss the giant burger and bun.
The Absolutely Ridiculous Burger - Mallie’s Sports Grill & Bar
The largest burger you can order from a menu is this burger. The Mallie's Sports Grill and Bar's Absolutely Ridiculous Burger is 338 pounds (153 kilograms) and costs $2000.
The burger contains 540,000 calories, and the cooking time is almost an entire day. This comes with 30 pounds of onion, 15 pounds of lettuce, 36 pounds of cheese, and 30 pounds of bacon, and with fries and a drink.
Mallie's has gained notoriety over the years for serving enormous burgers. In 2009 and 2011, it out-burgered past accomplishments of 186 pounds and 319 pounds, respectively.
“Main Event” Burger - Denny's Beer Barrel Pub
The next burger on this list can be spotted at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. This place seems eager to create the largest burger and the biggest contender of all time.
With a two-pound burger challenge, they gradually started, but no one cares about two pounds today. Now, the 125-pound Main Event burger that needs a 72-hour notice is all we care about because it takes a long time to prepare.
The Main Event burger has an 80-pound ground beef patty, 160 slices of cheese, 1 pound of mustard, 1 pound of lettuce, 1 pound of ketchup, 1 pound of relish, 1 pound of mayonnaise, 5 onions, and 12 tomatoes.
Mount Olympus Burger - Clinton Station Diner
There are many burger challenges at the Clinton Station Diner in New Jersey, but Mt. Olympus has been by far the biggest burger you'll ever get to see. This burger, weighing in at 50 pounds, would certainly put you and three of your buddies in a food coma for a whole week.
It consists of beef, buns, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese. Once accomplished, the burger is free, worth $159.99. If you can eat the whole thing with a maximum of 4 people in 3 hours or less, there is a $1000 reward.
You can even try even simpler challenges if 50 pounds of beef is too much for you to manage. Only call in advance to say that you're coming.
The 911 - Wiener & Still Champion
Though they are no longer operational, its name will live on for bringing us this burger. The small eatery serving a giant burger named The 911 was a Chicago-area restaurant Wiener & Still Champion.
This is a three-pound monstrosity with nine patties and eleven slices of cheese. This is the largest of three "Undisputed" burgers, otherwise known as the "Triple Undisputed." The smallest, marketed as "only for the very hungry," starts at a relatively modest one pound.
Conclusion
An even bigger burger is the only thing better than a big, juicy burger, stacked high with all the extra toppings.
You can always indulge in different cuisines, but sometimes all you’re craving is something familiar, such as a burger, just bigger (and even biggest), this time.
