Just bought a two pound burger.

[Nr1Humanoid]

Technically 2.2 which is one kilo.

It went pretty well for a while but when I had one quarter left, man, did it become hard. Not really the amount as much as it being so much meat. I had to add extra dressing just to get it down.

But, I succeeded.

Never again. I'm sick at the sight of burgers now. At least I have something to brag about, childish as it is. Should have had it at the burger joint though, getting my name on the wall and a diploma.

Would you manage? Sound easier than it is.

At work today one of my workmates was talking about how he has seen people order pounders and pound and a halfers but never 2 pounders. So my other workmate said he would order one during his break. I left as he was going on break, so im not sure if he even ordered it.

As for the question. i probably couldn't, and if I did I would feel sick afterwards.

I once slammed one of Ruby Tuesday's Monster Burgers (1 lb.) or whatever they called them back then (this was before they became a super-big chain). I was only 13 or 14 at the time (I needed a second bun because I couldn't fit the whole thing in my mouth). The waitress even commented that nobody that ate that whole burger that she could think of was as young as me and she'd been there for 6 years. She thought I would be sick, but I was fine the rest of the day...it probably helped that we had to see my dad to the airport, skipped breakfast completely and had a late lunch.

Me and an old friend of mine from school were on this big church trip to Colorado and we went to this pizza place in Denver that had this gigantic pizza challenge...thing. I think it was like a 5 or 6 lb. pizza that required 2 people, and no pair had finished it off yet.. We joked about going back Christmas break or the next Summer to take it on though I think he might have actually been serious about it.

That's about all I can think of...

When I worked at Fuddruckers a few years back a family came in with a tennage/early 20s kid with Downs Syndrome. He ordered a pound burger and ate it. Then got his parents to buy him another, and ate it, then another. He ate three pound burgers, with buns and fixins. After cooking the burgers were probably around 3/4 pound, but he still ate over two pounds of meat. And there was about ten minutes between each burger for us to cook it, its not like he scarfed them down real quick. Kids wasnt fat either.

I can probably handle that. I managed to eat a giant bowl of chicken necks without getting a heart attack, so I'll probably survive.

We used to have a family owned place out here called Jakes. Had a burger called The Big Jake, that burger was huge at least a pound and a half. One of the best burgers I have had in my life, too bad the place shut down.

I'm impressed with all your feats

I ate a bunch of spicy wings earlier, didn't count how many, but far more than is healthy.

I think after this thread is done, we'll have to start one mourning the state of our arteries.

"Chicken necks?"

I fully expected that story to end with "He threw up all over the restaurant". I wonder if he got sick.

This thread is quickly turning into "Wrestlecrap Vs Food".

And I completely approve.

This summer, a buddy and I are planning on going on a MvF cross country adventure.

[Display Name]

Speaking of Man vs. Food,a few months back I tried to do that hot ass ramen from Orochan(sp?)that he did and I really don't know how he finished it.I love spicy food,but I couldnt even finish half of it....and the aftermath,Jesus.

[Insomniac]

As soon as I saw the words "two pound burger", my mouth began watering. That sounds delicious. I was able to finish a 1 lb. burger and a large size of fries at this burger place back in college, so I'm sure I could take on a 2 lb. burger.

[The Booty Disciple]

Presuming it was decent meat (80/20 chuck, and hand pattied) it should probably be pretty tasty. Still, I try not to abuse my digestive tract in that sort of fashion anymore.

One of the few times I ever had to go an explain something at the restaurant as a manager to the owners was when this old codger of a cowboy came in and wanted a triple half-pounder. Now, all the burgers there are half pound, hand pattied, 80/20 chuck that are made at a local shop here in town for us every morning, so they're damn tasty, but adding two patties turned this into a $17 burger (it was what we called a Classic Burger, 1/2 pound patty, two strips of bacon, cheddar...and he wanted cheddar and bacon on all three patties, so that's another $3 per extra patty, and another $3 for the extra bacon and cheese). I also said to the guy that if he needed it, we have plenty of to-go boxes. He got pissed, so I gave him to another server and forgot about it.

Well, the sumbitch didn't bother to ask what the extra cost would be either. So, as I expected, he didn't finish, and then proceeds to curse out the little gal that was taking care of him over the price. She immediately comes and gets me (rightfully so, that's what managers are for), and I politely explained to him the prices on his check. Now, keep in mind, this is at like 1 in the afternoon on a Saturday, so we're packed, and this guy is raising holy hell about this, cursing like a sailor, etc. He figured that since he didn't know about it and that he didn't finish it, he shouldn't have to pay more than the usual $8 for the burger. I disagreed.

He left without paying, so I politely called the police and reported him. He then went over to the other restaurant (a block away, owned by the same people) and complained to the owners. Well, the owners came over to ask me about it, and he was marching over. I still had a police officer there.

Suddenly, he couldn't get his wallet out fast enough to pay his check, and I politely explained to the owners what had happened, and all was well.

He was immediately put on the 86 list, though they turn enough staff over that only a few of the long time employees even remember now. I remember, though, and when I helped them out bouncing a few months back, he tried to come in at the tail end of the dinner shift while I was starting to card. He saw me, and asked to speak to a manager...who, funnily enough, is now the head manager and the guy who saw to it that I got promoted back when.

Needless to say, he didn't get in.

I never watch MvF without something to eat.
As for my most gluttonest, I've never had a whole ton of stuff at once, but tomorrow, I'm planning on having the worst lunch ever!

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

Yes, massive mound of meat on a bun. Whenever I go to Fuddrucker's, I get the one pounder. I don't know if I could do a two pounder, though. If I don't get fries, maybe. I would love to challenge myself though, since I generally don't get anything on my burger but cheese and a few various sauces. Oh, good grief I'm having a foodgasm just thinking about it.

[Thrillho]

You really can't appreciate the word "Fuddruckers" unless you're Scottish.
