    From http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100607/od_nm/us_australia_burger:
    (Reuters) – An Australian cafe is claiming a world record after cooking a giant hamburger with an 81 kg (178 lb) patty that took 12 hours to cook and four men to flip. The monster burger cooked up by Sydney cafe owners, Joe and Iman El-Ajouz, weighed in at 90 kg in total, eclipsing the previous record of 84 kg, set in Michigan in the United States.
    "Just flipping the patty was the main challenge for us, but it all went well," Iman El-Ajouz told Reuters.
    "My husband had to prepare special metal holders and a metal plate, he had one at the bottom one at the top, locked them together and they flipped the burger with that," she added.
    The giant burger contained the giant beef patty, 120 eggs, 150 slices of cheese, 1.5 kg of beetroot, 2.5 kg of tomatoes and almost 2 kg of lettuce all topped off with a special sauce on a giant sesame seed bun. It was eaten by employees at the cafe.

    Seriously, who puts beetroot on a burger?

    Beetroot is gorgeous if you put it in the right food. Its a nice natural sweet food that goes well in a salad.

    Salad is what food eats.

    Nobody better put a beetroot near my burgers, I can tell you.

    I like beetroot ... as a natural dye for my home made thongs. It has no place in a burger.

    It's good to see people stepping up to the mark, and making daycent sized burgers. One day, I hope to be presented with a 200 lb burger, so I can eat my own bodyweight ... one fine day

    *dreams of modest sized burgers*

    Ever had beetroot brownies?

    There is a cafe in Spiddal, Galway (Builin Blasta - I think) that does them - they are very very good!

    I also hate eggs.
    I find the following makes everything better :
    Bacon
    Cheese
    Caramel.
    So a giant burger with bacon cheese and in this case caramalized onions would be perfect. Load on the barbeque sauce and tomato ketchup with sliced tomatoes please.

    You need feeding up sir. That is a dangerously low weight.

    Let me just clarify, I don't have any issues with beetroot per se.

    Thongs aren't an every day item, they are for those tender moments or when you want to show 'em what you've got.

    There's a time and a place for them, just like beetroot.

    Jeebus Tom ... the desert hasn't been kind to you, yore fadin' away. Camel burgers must be lacking in calories.

    Yes, I find they also are "breathable" - the fabric doesn't chafe.

    trout top thong tip # 10 : never ever, EVAR, tumble-dry a thong ... it will turn to sandpaper almost instantly. Always drip dry ... or air dry.

    I just had two wonderful burgers from the barbeque gentlemen that I had stocked high with various delicious condiments. Needless to say there was no beetroot in sight ;)
