World's Largest Burger
Concerned cattlemen in Towner, N. Dak., recently made the world's largest hamburger ù a whopping 16 ft. in dia. ù to dramatize the point that beef is a good buy. The big 3,000 lb. patty was broken down into 3-oz. patties that sold for 30 cents.
Two crews began making the giant beef patty at 10:00 p.m. the evening before the event and most of the night was spent grinding and patting down the meat. Workers finished the task at 4:00 a.m., then froze the burger with liquid nitrogen in anticipation of the next day's festivities. After the ceremonies, North Dakota Governor Allan Olson served up the first burgers.
According to the Guiness Book Of Records, the 3,000 lb. hamburger will be 141 lbs. larger than the previous record-holder, a big burger cooked up in Perth, Australia in 1975.
