shamelessly swiped from Warseer.


linky. If I was in the area I'd be tempted to go just to say I had been there, but there's no way i could eat one of the quadruple bypass burgers.

I would absolutely go to a place like that. I'm not sure I could eat a quadruple bypass burger in one sitting, but I bet the leftovers would make an excellent breakfast.

Besides, since I'm pretty sure the place isn't anywhere near I'd live, the realistic chance that I'd go any more than once or twice in my life is pretty slim. I think it'd take more than one quadruple bypass burger to kill me.

I'm guessing the waitresses don't eat there much anyway.

The free fries is kind of sweet-- is that like cheese or something they're putting on them ?

It looks like cheese to me. Fries with cheese and or chili on them is pretty common in the US.

Maybe the waitresses just work out?

Really, the single bypass burger probably isn't much worse than a similar-sized burger at any fast food type place.

I think it's cool that they fry the fries in lard, really. And use real sugar. As long as it's actual cane sugar, I'd much rather have that than the processed sweetener crap or corn syrup that's in most things nowadays.

The Quad -- 8,000 calories is about three or four days' food in one meal, for people with a desk job.

OTOH if you are an oarsman in full training it's about 1+1/3rd days' worth.

Between the guy dressing up as a doctor, the crazy hot nurses and the 'our food will kill you vibe' I gotta say I definitely like that guy's style and hope his restaurant does well.

But I will never eat there. Maybe buy a coke and talk to the nurses though.

To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

So bypass burgers are a registeredd trademark. Is this company the originator of the term or just jumped on it and claimed exclusive use?

I almost like the idea just keep the food, ditch the ho's and the patronising.

You dont even need to do that. My local kebab shop on Bakkalakkadakka street quarter pounders for 1.99 and a two for one deal. Besides I prefer my local 'eat as much as you can' Chinese restaurant, still both are occassional use only, have fun and dont die, salad can taste ok when you are used to it.

This place is just awesome. Only been the once, only got a double bypass, didn't eat much, was too busy lookin at the waitstaff. Good food, too bad it's at least an hour away from me.

By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

The biggest burger I ever ate in one sitting was the 2/3 pound monster burger at Hardees, and a few hours later, boy I regretted it. They should have a waitress wandering the floor selling Beano and fiber pills. That burger they showed at the beginning of the video had too much extra stuff on it. I'm more of a minimalist when it comes to burgers.

"Just curiouse, around how big are the patties in video compared to mcdonald's ?

Probably twice the size, but the amount of crap they pour onto it and pure fat they cook it in would make it 4x worse.

I know a restaurant in Rotterdam that has a 2500 grams hamburger (and that's just the meat) for 45 euros.

If you manage to eat it inside a certain period of time (I think it´s a half hour), you get for just the cost of the materials involved, your pictures goes on their Hall-of-Fame wall, and you're entered onto a list of people that´ve managed the feat that year. Each year, a winner is drawn from that list for a paid vacation to the US.
I´ve never tried it, but their other food´s pretty good.

And the gross over-reaction award goes to the only one to try for it, our Man (?) Grotsnik. Humans are the only creatures on Earth that actually seek out morally reprehensible activities just so they'll have something to do in their spare time. Why, oh why do you think morality was invented in the first place, as an actual behavioral guideline? Pffft!!! It's just the starting block!!!

So we should instead offer prizes for obscene levels of gluttony, or perhaps instead use the money it takes to organise and supply such a debacle for, I dunno, a donation to famine relief?

So it's morally reprehensible because the money used to do it could instead be given to starving people?

That encompasses quite a bit more than eating contests, I'm afraid.
