World’s largest hamburger only 1,375,000 calories
On July 2, the world’s largest burger — yes, it’s commercially available — made its debut at the Alameda County Fair in California. Weighing in at 777 pounds, Guinness World Records officials confirmed the massive “Juicy’s Outlaw Burger” by Juicy’s LLC is the new record holder, beating the previous “biggest” burger by 187 pounds.
"The old record was held in Canada and we wanted to bring it home to America on the 4th of July," Nick Nicora, one of the burger’s creators, told CBS San Francisco.
Of those 777 pounds, more than 600 of them are beef, making the burger the size of a small cow. Thirty pounds of lettuce, 12 pounds of pickles and 20 pounds of onion are piled on between the halves of a 110-pound bun.
As the record requirement was that the burger had to be consumed by the public, hundreds lined up for a bite, paying 99 cents for a chunk of burger history.

If you want to buy the Juicy’s Outlaw Burger — which stands three-feet thick and five feet in diameter — all it takes is 48 hours’ notice and $5,000.
Not a bad deal, considering it will feed 1,000 of your closest beef-loving friends. (Or eat it yourself. Just note that if you’re on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, it will take you 22 months to finish.)
