To raise charity, this restauranteur has created a $4000 pizza to help the Fred Hollows Foundation. I wonder if they'll honor a competitors 2-for-1 coupon?

A CHEF has created what could be the world's most expensive pizza to raise funds for the Fred Hollows Foundation.
The pizza is sprinkled with gold and topped with champagne-soaked caviar and lobster marinated in the finest cognac.
Creator Domenico Crolla said it was worth more than $3700.

Clinton Station Diner is now well known for its massive burgers, but have you ever seen one being made? This short video shows the burger being put together, as well as a few guys trying to eat it. They used a wood saw to cut it up! Hahaha

Bob, from Bob's BBQ (the current World Record Holder for the World's Largest Commercially Available Hamburger) comments on the recent attempt made by the Clinton Station Diner. Bob's BBQ currently holds the Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Hamburger. They won this title in late July, 2006. (Story and pictures here and here) Then in late October 2006, The Clinton Station Diner created "The 8th Wonder", weighing in at a mammoth 105lb's, and unofficially claiming the title of the World's Largest Burger. Bob has graciously commented on this latest attempt, and doesn't believe that Guinness will give the award to the Clinton Station Diner, claiming:

... Do I think it will make the World Record? Not a chance! The first thing I noticed was the meat is not fully cooked in the center and this is one of Guinness strict guidelines, There also has to be a certified Health official on premises to certify the fact that it was fully cooked and I saw no mention of this, The second biggest thing I see is there are just to many toppings and as already mentioned this is another strict guideline that it has to be in proportion to a normal burger...

Seems there's more to the Big Burger Wars than one would think!

And alas, we reach the final meatcake of Meatcake Week 2006. This one is a colorful meatcake with detailed decorations on top. A tasty looking cross section too! But don't fret Meatcake lovers, Meatcake Week will return in 2007! (and there's bound to be a few Meatcake posts during the year)

A few of Schutz's friends got together to celebrate his birthday with a meatcake! They take you through all the steps of its creation too!

"Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks!"
"It's not a cake."
"What?"
"It's a meatloaf!"
"Wow."
"Can you take it? It weighs ten pounds."

Looks more like a meat-pie to me... You can't stick beef in a tin foil tray and call it a meatcake!

Dogs get all the fun. Although it looks a little too dog-foody to me...

Ok, so it's not quite a meatcake, but looks an awful lot like one. It's the Hamburglar cake, and one lucky 4 year old got it made for his 4th birthday! A very tasty looking cake that looks like a burger.

First step in making the hamburger cake for Zack's 4th birthday...I had to mix milk chocolate frosting, orange paste food coloring and yellow paste food coloring to get the "bun" color.

This could be the worst looking, most rushed meatcake we've had all week! Looks like linzbinz was in a hurry to get some meatcakey goodness! That cross-section looks mighty meaty! (and tasty too!)

One of the more healthier meatcakes I've seen, this one sports quite a few vegetables as decorations on top of the cake.
