    That depends on how fat you are already. :D

    lpbman, you raise a good point. I may not eat that burger, but I might just visit the establishment for the view.

    At least the burger is named correctly.

    Jezz, I just couldn't ingest that much food on purpose

    That burger looks about like the "Mega Mel" at Mel's Diner in Tomball, Texas.

    What is really sad is that most of the people that order this will probably only eat ¼ of it and throw it away, while there are people starving in the world. There is something stupid about gluttony.

    Do they have toilets built into the chairs?

    That's too much.

    sorry but adding 6 extra patties and a box of cheese to a double whopper isn't gonna make it taste any better.

    in a couple of years, we'll see that guy on that trauma ER show trying to get our sympathy for his "disease".

    Haha, that is great. A restaurant actually having fun with their unhealthy foods. I have to check this place out. At least that had the sense of humor to poke fun at getting extremely fat off eating burgers. The Heart Attack Grill is a perfect name for a burger joint because it speaks the truth!

    If you include the nurse, there's actually five. Savvy?

    I doubt his career would have advanced from this to begin with.

    Perhaps, he'll be known as the guy that died from cardiac arrest, stroke, c-word at the same time.

    The burger at Mel's:

    Herd Killer
    I don’t have a menu right in front of me to tell you the exact weight of the burger – but I think the standard weight of a burger at Mel’s is ½ pound. The patties are thick and always homemade. When you take your first bite – do yourself a favor and admire the inner workings of the patty. You’ll come face to face with oooze and you’ll see a big chunk of meat. The regular Mel’s burger is a medium on the herd killer. Mel’s flagship burger is it’s Mega Mel’s Burger. This thing is approaching bovine armageddon status! This thing has 6 – count em’ – SIX patties totaling 1 1/2 pounds of beef - a friggin’ pound of bacon – ¼ pound of cheese – all the vegetables – and a half off coupon for a defibulator. If you can eat this bad boy in under 2 hours and not “return any of the food for a refund” during that time – you get your name written on the Mel’s Wall of Fame and you will be forever the envy of binge eaters everywhere! One guy at this monstocity in 9 minutes!!! I bet that dude had a real bad case of something that night. Yowser!
    Regular Mel’s Burger Herd Killer Rating: 5
    (Mega Mel’s Burger Herd Killer Rating: 9!!)

    I think the kid that ate the burger in 9 minutes broke his own record by eating it in something like 6-7 minutes. The burger looks much like the one above even fit with the skewer jammed through it to hold it up.
