From one of the news agencies:

Following 12 hours or preparation and cooking, a Detroit, Michigan, restaurant owner believes his 134-pound hamburger has broken the world record for "largest hamburger commercially available."

The "Absolutely Ridiculous Burger," made with beef, bacon and cheese, was delivered on a 50-pound bun at Mallier's Sports Bar and Grill, The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press reported. It sells for 350 U.S. dollars, and orders must be made 24 hours in advance.

Flipping the burger required three men using two steel sheets.

Owner Steve Mallie told The News he wanted to show that he has the biggest and best burgers.

Authenticating Mallie's claim could take a few weeks. His burger would outweigh the 123-pound burger made last year by Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, of Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

How much ketchup would that take??
