Now that’s impressive: At the Alameda County Fair, grill chefs amazed onlookers – as well as Guinness World Record officials – by revealing a massive hamburger that weighed an astonishing 777lbs, making it the largest commercially available burger.
This colossal burger easily surpassed the previous record of 590lbs, which was cooked by barbecue chef Ted Reader in Toronto, Canada, last May, and was presented to the public over the weekend.
Crafted by the collaborative talents of Brett Enright from Juicy’s Outlaw Grill in Phoenix and Nick Nicora from local company Ovations Food Services, this behemoth was a sight to behold.
Taking 15 hours to prepare, the cooking process began at 5am to ensure the massive meal was ready by an 8pm meal time, featuring just one enormous beef patty.
Mr. Enright shared that the idea struck him during a month off from work in December.
“I thought, ‘I bet I could construct the world’s largest burger,'” he recounted.
“So I did some research.”
Those who wished to sample the behemoth burger were charged 99 cents, with all proceeds donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank.
Apparently, the burger attracted larger crowds than the top-billed Blue Öyster Cult (known for ‘Don’t Fear The Reaper’)… or so the word goes.
