6. Juicy Outlaw Burger ($5,000)
Hamburger was born as a food associated with major events such as amusement parks, fairs, conferences, or festivals sold at street vendors. Charlie Nagreen, one of the possible fathers of hamburger, flatten hamburger steak and inserted it in between two slices of bread so people can easily grab one and eat it on the go during those events.
Despite the nutritional controversies which resulted in the reduction of calories of burgers in the early 20th century, hamburger has become one of culinary icons in United States. It is so iconic that Juicy Food launched a record-breaking burger in July 2011. According to Guinness Book of World Record, Juicy Outlaw Burger is the World’s Largest Commercially Available Hamburger.
This gigantic burger was launched at the Alameda County Fair in California. Weighing 777 pounds, it takes 14 hours to make. It is 3-foot thick and 5-foot wide. And it is made of 600 pounds of beef, 30 pounds of lettuce, 12 pounds of pickles, 20 pounds of onions, and 110 pounds of 28-inch-thick bun. Overall, this burger contains 1,375,000 calories.
Juicy Outlaw Burger is actually available on the Juicy Food’s menu. But before you barge in to devour this beast, you should give 2-day notice first. And you also need to prepare $5,000 to purchase this one giant burger.
