This dude downed a beast of a burger in just under five hours to win $400, some T-shirts, and the title of "Dude Who Ate a Giant Burger." The Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser (I'm not making that up) weighs 20.2 pounds overall, including the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, and peppers, and a cup each of ketchup, mayo, and relish. I'm kind of revolted and awed at the same time.
It's not just clothing fashions that change, but food fashions, too. Take this delightful recipe for Consomme Tongue Treat from a Campbell's cookbook circa 1968. Imagine whipping up this appetizer and serving it to your guests.
There's a new chef in town, and he's wearing very little besides white pants and a white headband. (And his EVOO? He just wears it on his chest.) This hot, crunchy hunk of a man can come over and teach me "how to make bread" any day of the week!
"Va-rice-ity" is the spice of life. And if rice is too plain healthy, then why not dress it up with — oh, a little bacon, sour cream, or shredded cheddar cheese? I'm sure your man will love that.
Did you just get fired from Radio Shack, did the woman you tried to pick up have a boyfriend who threatened to kick your ass, or did you just total your car? Whatever your damage, there's nothing like a late-night burrito place to provide the greasy goods to cure what ails you. God bless America and good night.
Miss Platnum, née Ruth Maria Renner, is a Romanian-born singer now living in Germany. It really doesn't matter where she's from, though, because she's saying something all women understand in every language: "Give me the food if you love me." Mmmm.
Last week, we reported on a dude who ordered a 60-slice bacon cheese Whopper from Burger King. The fast food chain lived up to its promise and made it his way, but bacon boy couldn't stomach the grease in the end and didn't finish. Lo and behold, we have a new contender dumbass in the race for high cholesterol.
Especially after the CheeseFest I just returned from. (Thanks, Fit!)

As a savory food lover and a fan of people with a good sense of humor, I love this story. Tom and Kerry Watts of Norwich, CT both love burgers and decided that substituting a 42-pound cheeseburger (the equivalent of 100 quarter pounders) for a wedding cake was the way to go. Tom, a firefighter, said of their unusual choice: "Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams but I also got to have the burger of my dreams in the same day."
Who doesn't love to raid the fridge dressed like a three-year-old? They're having so much fun!
