Big Burger Challenges Gustatory Gladiators

CLEARFIELD, Pa. -- Denny's Beer Barrel Pub has a challenge -- the six-pound Burger Challenge.

The Clearfield, Pa., eatery this week invited big eaters from around the country to take on its biggest burger.

Here's the recipe: six pounds of beef, one large onion, two whole tomatoes, ½ head of lettuce, one and ¼ pounds of cheese, top and bottom buns, and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and banana peppers -- all topped off with some pickles.

The folks at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub says no one has been able to eat the six-pound burger in the required three hours.

Competitive eater Eric "Badlands" Booker has tried it three times. On his last attempt, he stayed at the restaurant for seven ½ hours and ate the whole thing.

Is there any kind of reward for doing this? I couldn't imagine just doing it for the hell of it. Well, I couldn't imagine doing it at all...but if there was a reward that may motivate people.

The reward is a year's membership to Weight Watcher's, and a free EKG to check for clogged arteries!

That is just too funny.

I agree, why would someone want to do this? Here's another question, is it 6 pounds before or after it is cooked?
