Giant 914 kilo cheeseburger sets new world weight record

A US casino has created a new world record with their bacon cheeseburger that is 10 feet in diameter and weighs more than a ton. The behemoth burger was served up at the Black Bear Casino Resort near Carlton in Minnesota and tipped the scales at 914kg, the Daily Express reported. Guinness Records representative Philip Robertson verified the record for the biggest burger. He called the feat a result of "remarkable teamwork" and said that the burger "actually tastes really good." According to Duluth News Tribune, the previous mark of the biggest burger was a mere 400kg. The casino's burger included 60lb (27kg) of bacon, 50lb (23kg) of lettuce, 50lb (23kg) of sliced onions, 40lb (18kg) of pickles and 40lb (18kg) of cheese. It took about four hours to cook and a crane was used to flip it.
