World’s Biggest Burger Weighs in at 185 Pounds

The world’s biggest burger has been unveiled, which weighs in at 185 pounds.

Whilst the bun, which takes 8 hours to make, is being prepared, the burger is baked for 15 hours before it is topped with cheese, lettuce and tomato and wheeled out into the restaurant on a trolley.

Mallie’s Sports Grill and Bar in Southgate, Michigan, USA, are selling the enormous meal for $499.

Restaurant owner Steve Mallie said: ”Being in the Guinness World Records book is the greatest accomplishment we’ve ever done.

”I’ve worked my entire life to build this restaurant and being able to have the notoriety of Guinness makes it just that bit more rewarding.”

Now it’s just a question of who’s going to eat it, and pay $499 for the privilege? And we wonder why we are one of the most obese nations on earth. I’ve got to say though, it does look good, doesn’t it? Any takers?

Daniel Tate was attending a wildlife event at Seaton Marshes, when he spotted the rare insect.

While adult male green grasshoppers are nearly always green, females can come in a rainbow of shades, usually in the brown or purple color families.

“Pink grasshoppers are unusual but not unheard of. However the intensity of the pink in this case must make it highly unusual,” said Fraser Rush, nature reserves officer for East Devon District Council. Rush added that the pink grasshopper may pass on its unusual coloring to its offspring.
