Extreme Food

This is truly gross - but typically American.

The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball team, sells a mega-burger at its stadium. Indeed, it sold more than a hundred of them at its opening game of the season. The burger, which weighs more than 2 kilos, consists of five 150-gram beef patties, chili, American cheese, nacho cheese, tortilla chips, salsa, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. The burger is so big that it has to be served in a pizza box with an open top. And it has the calorific value of nine Big Macs.


That first night, more than a dozen fans at the game ate one of these gargantuan gutbusters on their own.
