CNN reported last week that Kanye West had ordered a curry from British Raj's at a total cost of $3900 (and that didn't include the travel cost of the chef!). Turns out that Kanye wasn't in New York during that week, and his publicist denied the claim that he'd ordered the meal. The meal was ordered though and sent to New York, so someone ate well that day! Poor Kanye, no curry for you!

Here's some more crazy snacks from StuffMagazine.com. This time, they hollow out a few hot dogs, fill them with cheese, wrap them in Bacon and deep fry them.... Mmmm... it's like a hot dog heart attack all in one convenient greasy little package!

BJ's Wholesale Club gave us way too much food for our Super Bowl party, so we took what was left over and made it into some heart-punishingly delicious recipes.

The challenge was set between two Canadian food warriors! These guys sure know how to trash talk each other. The challenge was simple, the winner would be determined by who could eat their burger and fries the fastest. Suspense, controversy and more trash talking follow!

I was digging around the zGeek forums the other day when I stumbled across one of the funniest post-hot-food-eating articles I've ever read. "Cranky" had heard about the "Off the Wall Challenge" from friends in the forum, and thought he'd give it a crack. We've written about the "Off the Wall Challenge" before, and Andrew successfully completed the challenge... What Cranky didn't know is just how damn hot that burger was, and the pain that he would be subjected to. He took the challenge, and hilarity ensued. Enjoy!

Excerpt: not to be discouraged i forge ahead, quickly shovelling the burger into my mouth. i begin to descend into my own litle hell. staff come out and are watching us eat and are egging us on. i can barely notice anything except the immense pain in my mouth, eyes, ears (yes my ears were ringing) but most importantly in my stomach...

Here's a hefty sized burger from a place in the Philippines! The place is called, "HungreeBurgers", has 3 locations, and sport what I would assume to be some of the largest burgers in the Philippines. 8" diameter is pretty good for a readily available fast food burger! This vid shows the making of, and a few pics of the burger itself. Not sure if it's a commercial, an ad, or what... the music is pretty groovy though...

I think the name of this pizza place sums up what they do quite nicely. They claim to be the Giant Pizza King, and from the looks of these photos, they are! These pizzas are huge, come in either 16 slices, or 24 squares, and have 14 locations around San Diego. Sizes up to 26" are available for around $25-$30. Long live the King! (PS: If anyone lives around one of these, let us know if they've got any challenges!)

We ordered from the specialty pizza shop - where there pizzas are ENORMOUS! (16 slices / or 24 squares)

The huge German Department Store, "KaDeWe" celebrated their 100th anniversary in Supersized style recently. They unveiled a cake standing at least a few stories high, the base recreating the store and its employees, with six tiers built on top of it. From the pics, it looks to be about 40ft high! Happy anniversary!

Maybe if you're from New Zealand you'd call it a "sex" burger, but for most people we'd just call it a "six patty" burger. Maybe he liked it more than he made out? Andee from "Above This Fire" gets convinced to eat this tower of greasy goodness.
