> [@Isamu](#): > > 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. But goood. **In Winnipeg** ’s comment that the Japanese know nothing about burgers is disproven by MOS Burger. ---

Slightly tempting, but Lotteria burgers are terrible. ---

Nope, I’d find better stuff to eat in Japan. Especially when I can get [these](http://www.houstonpress.com/slideshow/burger-porn-safe-for-work-and-totally-delicious-29935586/1/) at home! ---

There’s a place called “Hank’s Tavern” where I’ve gotten one of [these](http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0fM68PXcJwg5y/340x.jpg) before. Only 2 patties but still a full pound of meat and impossible to eat as stacked.

This joint is about 1/4 of a mile from my house. [http://www.mygogoburger.com/gogochallenge.html](http://www.mygogoburger.com/gogochallenge.html) I think that the 2 pounds of fries is more daunting.

what would be the point? it doesn’t look tasty, you can’t finish it while it’s hot and no one can be that hungry. ---

I wouldn’t touch it. I literally lack a stomach for surgical reasons, and a Wendy’s Single is about all I can handle. ---

I don’t think I’d really have much trouble eating that deca-burger, if I was hungry. But I’d be more likely to stop at a double or triple and add some fries. There’s a bar and grill here that sells a burger that sounds awesome (and potentially fatal), though I’ve never gone there and seen or eaten it. They grill up two 1/4-pound patties, assemble them in a bun with cheese and bacon, then dip the whole thing in a beer batter and deep-fry it. It’s called “The Crazy Talk.” Sounds like the perfect thing to order on the night before your lethal injection. ---

I remember eating two triple cheeseburgers fairly easily as a teen, I probably could have eaten this. But jeez it looks gross! The patties look like McDonald’s sausage patties rather than any kind of beef. ---

They grill up two 1/4-pound patties, assemble them in a bun with cheese and bacon, then dip the whole thing in a beer batter and deep-fry it. I actually know someone who has a deep fryer (friend of a friend is a restaurant owner). Think I should try to make one of these on my own? ---

I’d try it once sure. I loves me a greasy burger. The Eagle’s Deli is right where I used to go to school, and it had some award as “3rd best place to pig out” in the nation. They had 1-5 pound burgers. I’d regularly a 1 pounder with some fries, haha. ---

I’d pass on the 10 patty burger. Maybe a 5-patty version with fries instead… ---

I had a 10x10 at In-n-Out once, kinda as a competition/event with my friend. I finished the whole thing, but after 5-6 patties it was definitely more just soldiering on and forcing it down. Felt like I never wanted to eat again after that… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-could-you-eat-this-burger/540194.md?page=2)
