More burger wackiness from Japan: [http://www.japanprobe.com/2006/03/03/huge-japanese-hamburgers/](http://www.japanprobe.com/2006/03/03/huge-japanese-hamburgers/) That first one is a goddamn monstrosity, but that second one…y’know, I would try that out at least once. ---

In-N-Out has a secret menu, among which you can ask for any combination of patties and cheese. [You can get quite ridiculous](http://greensboring.com/pod/in-n-out2.jpg). I couldn’t finish one of those. Even if I could, I would pay for it with diarrhea for days. ---

The patties look like they aren’t all-beef, but I could be persuaded to take a crack at it. It doesn’t look that big patty-for patty, so I might be able to manage it if I start with an empty stomach. ---

I’d eat it if I were back on the Atkins diet . . . without the bun, of course. ---

A friend of mine plowed through a Triple Bypass cheeseburger at the Heart Attack Grill. This is a guy who won the “Meat Olympics” when he was younger. He was ready to burst. I don’t think he could handle that thing. ---

Why is the meat so light colored? It looks much too pale to be any sort of beef. Of course, it may not be advertised as beef but it’s still very ickily pale. I must come to the obvious conclusion that Lotteria Tower Cheese Burger is peeeeeeeeeeeeple. Or, maybe they stole the recipe from Double Meat Palace? ---

I don’t see how anyone could eat that. I’ve overeaten a lot in my time, but that’s horrible. ---

Anyone else find it amusing that at the bottom of that site there’s that ubiquitous ad “1 tip of a flat belly”? I’m guessing it’s “don’t eat this crap” ---

that cheese looks like the typical plastic shyte served at American fast food joints, made from soy oil and crude but less tasty. gimme some real cheese and I might go for it. ---

I dunno…I think I’d feel weird if my greasy burger from a fast-food joint had real cheese on it. Bad burgers should be complimented by bad cheese, I think that was one of the Ten Commandments. ---

I might try it as a dare or weird food challenge, but it’s not something that looks or sounds good at all. ---

Lotteria “burgers” are notoriously sloppy. You have to eat them in the (waxed paper) bag. ---

It takes me over an hour to finish a normal-sized sandwich. I could not finish this. ---

Sorry I misspoke. ☹ I couldn’t see the picture when I first posted because I was at work. I was thinking of a different chain -i.e., MOS Burger - they’re the really sloppy ones. ---

Hmm. Looks like it just needed a little more salt. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-could-you-eat-this-burger/540194.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-could-you-eat-this-burger/540194.md?page=3)
