There’s nothing like a burger fresh off the barbecue! This time of year the aroma of the grill is in the air every evening.
But how about this for a burger?
An Australian cafe is claiming a world record after cooking a giant hamburger with an 81 kg (178 lb) patty that took 12 hours to cook and four men to flip.
The monster burger cooked up by a Sydney café weighed in at 90 kg in total, eclipsing the previous record of 84 kg.
To flip the burger a set of special metal holders and a metal plate with one at the bottom and one at the top, locked them together and the four men flipped the burger.
Now this burger has toppings! Besides the monster patty, 120 eggs, 150 slices of cheese, 1.5 kg of beetroot, 2.5 kg of tomatoes and almost 2 kg of lettuce all topped off with a special sauce on a giant sesame seed bun.
The burger will be on the menu at the cafe for the next year in order to meet the conditions for a Guinness world record, but will set hungry patrons back around $1,500 and fries cost extra!
