PrintBelieve It or Not, This Is a Burger
AHT readers know about The Counter, the SoCal burger joint where you build your own burger using a checklist (right). Most readers would probably never consider checking EVERYTHING on the damn list, though.
The resulting burger is pictured above. Yes: That's a burger. (I thought it was an ice cream sundae when I first clicked to this page.) The gargantuan behemoth monstrosity cost dude about $84 pretax. Here's a rundown of what those greenbacks bought:
Now how many toppings does this burger have? FIFTY-FOUR. We're talking more than the number of states in the US. That's 10 types of cheese, 27 toppings, and 17 sauces. And oh yeah, a 1 lb beef patty with a honey wheat bun. For anyone who's ever gone through a drive-thru window at a fast-food joint and joked, "Let's order every single item on the menu!" this is pretty much the same thing...."

By definition, hamburgers are served and eaten between buns, not in bowls.

Where'd you get the $84 figure from? It looks from the photo of the bill as if it cost $45, as the guy who blogged it said. Also, I'm not saying Aaron's wrong, but I am saying he's a killjoy.

Not the biggest, but the SMALLEST I've seen! http://ueba.net/hosted_pages/Mini-Food-20060919
