There was a great special on the Travel Channel a few days ago that was all about eating challenges. There was a burger challenge on it that had a guy eating a 3.5lb burger with 5.5lbs or fries. He vomited after the first 3lbs of burger and 5lbs of fries. They still named the burger after him.

I saw that...
The wing one was stupid.
Do we have to have a partner? I would still be left hungry if I had to split it with someone.
Where is the monster sold, anyway?

A calorie estimate from bodybuilding.com forums puts this thing at ~23,000 calories (A cup and a half of freakin' mayo alone)

<font color="green">A 15-pound burger goes on sale
A Pennsylvania eatery is challenging diners to eat a huge burger at one sitting.

Dennis Liegey with his line-up of big burgers
A big job ahead of them
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Starting last weekend, a Pennsylvania restaurant put a 15-pound burger on its menu, claiming the largest burger available anywhere.
Dennis Liegey, the owner of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, 120 northeast of Pittsburgh, said the "Beer Barrel Belly Buster" weighs in with 10 pounds of meat molded into a 20-inch patty on a specially baked, 17-inch bun.
The balance of the weight comes from 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, plus copious quantities of mayo, ketchup, relish, mustard, and peppers.
Any two people who can eat it within a three-hour sitting get it for free. For everyone else, it costs $30.
Long-running challenge
"We've been running a burger challenge since 1991," said Liegey. "It started out with two- and three-pound patties, and went to a six-pounder in 1998 with five pounds of toppings."
Over the years Liegey said he has sold more than 10,500 of the two- and three-pounders, and 853 of the six-pounders.
He has kept careful count of how many diners have finished each offering: 256 ate the whole two-pounder and 39 finished three-pounders. And last February, one person, a 100-pound female college student, Kate Stelnick, from Princeton, New Jersey, ate the entire six-pounder. (The burger with toppings represented 11 percent of her body weight.)
The 15-pound burger can feed a family of 10, according to Liegey. He has sold two so far to teams of two people, and neither team did much more than put a dent in it.
