@4everteh1: Found this.....


"" There are countless
diners, beaneries,
and fast-food franchises in this country
where a meal will add an inch or two to
your waistline. But the idea of a restaurant
whose everyday menu is designed to
overwhelm you -- where a meal can be
just TOO MUCH -- seems impossible in
our double-stuffed land of casual fit
superabundance. To operate continuously
at a gastro-bypass level takes, for lack of
a better word, guts.
Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, "Home of the World's
Largest Burgers," is that kind of place.
No giant burger billboards announce its
presence, which is far from everything in rural
Pennsylvania. Even on the inside, it seems like
a typical, dimly lit suds and burger joint with
lots of neon beer signs and TV screens filled
with sports. But hung on one wall are glass-
fronted bulletin boards, packed with Polaroids
of mostly young men, each with a giant
hamburger before them. On the border of each
photo is written the word "FINISHED" or "NO."
Most of them have the word "NO."
"I think it's the enormity; it breaks your spirit,"
says Denny Liegey of his often-unconquered
meat creations. For years Denny served one-
half and one-pound hamburgers at the Pub,
and then, around 1990 as he recalls, he began
creating bigger burgers and selling them as a
dare: "If you can eat it, we'll pay for it." The
meat increased in weight to two pounds, then
three. Then in 1998 Denny introduced "Ye Olde
96er," which is nine pounds altogether, six of
it beef. Guinness calls it the "largest
hamburger commercially available," and their
certificate hangs prominently in the dining
room. Competitive eaters have another name
for it: "the Holy Grail of the burger world."
"As far as consumption goes, that's pretty
close to what a human being can do without
harming themselves," Denny says of Ye Olde
96er. Only one person has ever eaten it within
the Pub's three-hour time limit, and that was
"a little, skinny college girl from Princeton,"
according to Denny, who just showed up one
night, evidently with an appetite. "It stunned
the competitive eating world," Denny recalled.
"They said, 'You ate the Holy Grail!' And I
later heard that her mom was mad at her."
Denny gives us a tour of the kitchen to show
how his burger behemoths are made. Special
pans had to be developed to preserve the
meat's circular shape, and Denny has a
contract with a local bakery for his custom-
sized buns. The burgers are baked, mostly, at
low heat, so that consuming one is like eating
a meat loaf. Denny's biggest burger ever -- a
123-pounder that blew away the old world
record of 78.5 pounds -- took nine hours to
cook. "You can't put a burger on a grill for
that many hours; it would be charred," says
waitress Stephanie, who obviously has first-
hand knowledge of the process.
Not content to rest on his laurels, Denny now
promotes the "Belly Buster," a two-person,
15-pound burger made of 11 pounds of meat
plus the fixins. We ordered one for ourselves
(the big burgers need several hours advance
notice), but when Stephanie brought out the
foot-high creation, embellished with pickles,
lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, and oozing
mayo and cheese, we knew that we were way
out of our league. "No one has ever been able
to eat it," Denny said*. He remembered that a
Japanese sumo wrestler had arrived one night
-- Denny's is a world bulk-eating pilgrimage
site -- and ate half a Belly Buster in only an
hour. "Then he just stopped," Denny recalled.
"He looked at it for a while, but he never took
another bite.""
