Those wacky folks at the Alameda County Fair in California recently decided to create the Mother of all State Fair Food and cooked up this 777-pound hamburger. I think it looks about as appetizing as fresh road kill, but one must admit it's a masterpiece...of something. The burger includes 20# of onions, 12# of pickles, 30# of lettuce, and a 110# bun. It took 15 hours to cook. I'm not sure if, or how, it was flipped on the grill. Maybe with a forklift. Some dietary guru figured out it contained 1,375,000 calories. That's probably enough to feed mankind into the next millennium, or at least a single person through the weekend. And before you're like me and think, "What a waste of food," little chunks of it were sold for charity--although I'd just as soon give 'em my money and pass on the taste test. Just looking at it gives me a super-sized case of indigestion. Let's hope this idea doesn't catch on at McDonald's.
