Fat guy in a little coat...
No question that the restaurant portion sizes have gotten bigger, but this is ridiculous.
Ladies and gentlemen... you are looking at a sandwich. This one comes from the Carnegie Deli in Manhattan and is called Number 13—or "Jeff's Tatalah." This 'zangwich' as my Great-Grandmother would have called is piled to the ceiling with three pounds of turkey, corned beef and Swiss and served on pumpernickel with cole slaw and Russian dressing. Did I mention I am lactose intolerant? Just the thought of eating 3 pounds of cheese makes me... well, you get the idea.
In 1998, Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Central Pennsylvania made a six-pound offering of beef and bread, but was trumped in 2005 by the Clinton Station Diner in Clinton, New Jersey with their 12.5-pound "Zeus" burger. Not to be outdone, Fuddruckers added to their menu the build-your-own-burger which grilled up a 29-pounder. This year Denny's Beer Barrel Pub reclaimed the record with their mammoth 123-pound Main Event Charity Burger! Here's the breakdown: an 80-pound beef patty, a 30-pound bun, 160 slices of cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and for some vitamins, a pound of lettuce and 12 tomatoes.
So the story goes that a hungry cowboy strolled in to the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas claiming he was so hungry "he could eat the whole darn cow." The owner put him to the test and before long the cattleman had downed four and a half pounds of straight beef. Well the owner declared that from that point on, anyone who could match this outstanding feat of gluttony within one hour would eat free, and the 72-ounce steak was born.
This burrito comes from La Costena in Mountain View, California. This particular burrito is called the hefty super burrito and costs less than $10. If this isn't bad enough, they also sell a four-foot long Burrito Gigante for around $60. This place holds the Guinness Record for making the world's largest burrito: a 4,456.3 pounder measuring in at 3,578 feet long.
Texas gave birth to this bad boy which is called the Texas doughnut. It can be found at Round Rock Donuts and the size of it is enough to make your teeth hurt. On average the Texas doughnut is 15 inches in diameter! So, pretty much a spare tire.
