Now THAT is Excess: Pictures from an weekend on Lake Superior. The 236lb burger.

The 2nd annual Burger Fest took place recently in beautiful Bayfield, Wisconsin. Home to many superlatives, including a few that begin with the Northernmost point to______ (you fill in the blank). As of this past weekend Bayfield can now lay claim to the largest burger cooked in the world. According to Burger.net the burger that holds the current title hails from Clearfield, PA's Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, who's owner, Denny himself claims that "the largest burger that they know of is 4LB". Well, introducing (drumroll please), larger by 232LBS, The Bacon Cheeseburger with all the fixin's from the folks at The Northern Edge Bar and Restaurant Bayfield, WI.
