King of the (5lb) Burger challenge, Crest Hill, IL
Contributed by:  Billy  Googlemaps Location: Joliet, IL, USA
 Now this is a competition with a prize worth winning! If you can eat this 5lb burger and fries within 30 minutes, you get not only the burger for free, but you get a free meal, every day for 1 year! Yep, 365 free meals. What a fantastic prize! Many have tried, but as yet, no one has succeeded!

The Rules:1) You may have your 5lb. burger cooked the way you like.
 2) Upon taking your first bite, the clock starts.
 3) You have 30 minutes to finish your burger and fries (clean the plate).
 4) You may not leave the table during the 30 minutes.

It's apparently so dangerous, it carries a health warning. The 1000 calorie "Stonner" Kebab is a pork sausage wrapped in doner kebab meat and deep fried... Dunno, this doesn't look like a usual Kebab to me...

IT’S a gut-busting 1,000 calories and so fatty it carries a health warning — but a Scottish chip shop is still selling 100 of these deep-fried “Stonner Kebabs” a week.

Mega Mac Daddy, 21 pattys
Contributed by:  Billy  
 Another Mega Mac entry, this time with 21 cheeseburgers instead of Big Macs. Of all the Mega Mac's I've seen so far, this one turned out to be a bit of a train wreck... I think those Japanese entries were onto something using chopsticks as structural support!

OFTM has done it again.  Gone over the limit.  Way over.  We created a burger so big, so messy, so cheesy that only OFTM had the guts to do it.  That burger is the Mega Mac Daddy.  Featuring 21 patties of 100% beef, 21 slices of pure cheese, pickles, ground onion, ketchup, all on a bun.

Monica and her stack of In 'n' Out Beef
Contributed by:  Billy  
 This has to be one of the happiest In 'n' Out customers I've ever seen! I think the happiest person in an In 'n' Out would have to be the guy who made the 100x100... what a legend...

Bob's Deli & Catering Party Sub, Tucson, AZ
Contributed by:  Billy  Googlemaps Location: Tucson, AZ, USA
 And this could be yours for just $10.99/ft! Which makes me wonder, what is the standard price per foot for a party sub? Is there an industry standard? Know any other places that'll do it cheaper?  
From: http://home.earthlink.net/~deliboy1/id11.html 
Italian Sub - Ham, Salami, Pepperoni, Provolone, Mayo,  Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and Italian Dressing. $10.99 per foot

Wednesday, June 21, 2006; Posted: 2:02 p.m. EDT (18:02 GMT) BOCA RATON, Florida (AP) -- A hundred bucks would buy you a lot of burgers from McDonald's.
 
The swanky Old Homestead Steakhouse will sell you a single brawny beef sandwich for the same price. Boca Raton Mayor Steven Abrams could barely speak between bites Tuesday as he devoured the 20-ounce, $100 hamburger billed as the "beluga caviar of sandwiches."
