>From the Urban legends website. Status: True
Origins: Even though consumers are increasingly opting for healthier
foods these days, some people still prefer good ol' fatty standards such
as burgers, cheese, french fries, and ice cream. And as long as
customers want those things, some eateries will attempt to attract their
business by offering larger portions of them than the next guy.
One extreme in the big burger business is represented by Denny's Beer
Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, which offers several varieties
of "large" for the extreme burger enthusiast: a 2-pound Challenger, a
3-pound Baby Boy, and, as displayed in the pictures shown above, a
6-pound Ye Olde 96er (so named because it contains 96 ounces of meat).
As advertised on the pub's web site
<http://www.dennysbeerbarrelpub.com/6lbburger.htm> , a 96er sells for
$23.95 and includes the following fixings and condiments:
* Two whole tomatoes
* A half-head of lettuce
* 12 slices of American cheese
* A full cup of peppers
* Two entire onions
* A river of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard
Denny's (not to be confused with the national chain restaurants of the
same name) offers prizes for customers who can completely consume one of
their big burgers within three hours: a T-shirt, certificate, and 50%
discount for anyone who finishes a Challenger (2 lb. burger) within an
hour; a T-shirt, certificate, and 100% discount for anyone who can
polish off a Baby Boy (3 lb. burger) in 90 minutes or less; and
something special for anyone who manages the unthinkable and puts away a
whole 96er (6 lb. burger) in under three hours.
Update: In January 2005, a 100-pound woman became the first person to
win the Denny's Beer Barrel Pub challenge when 19-year-old Kate Stelnick
of Princeton, New Jersey, downed a six-pound Denny's "96er" hamburger
and five pounds of fixins' in 2 hours and 54 minutes, just shy of the
three-hour time limit. For her trouble, Ms. Stelnick got a special
certificate, a T-shirt, and other prizes, as well as having her tab for
the $23.95 burger picked up by the house.
