Ironic that this is posted in “Lighter Fare”. Uurgh…
I like beef, but that picture makes me feel ill!
Si la jeunesse savait – Si la vieillesse pouvait
I’m getting too old to pouvoir even see the pickie
Soyes sages!
“Would monsieur care for a mint?”
[Literally LOL.]
Golly.
[Rather … Gula.]
That hamburger makes me want to hurl and I can feel my arteries clogging up. That thing makes the triple Big Mac look like a wimp.
I don’t understand these eating contests. Must be male thing…like jacked up 4×4’s
All… That… Grease…
I LOVE beef, but this photo borders on an occasion of sin: gluttony!
I hope david andrew mint that kindly.
Did Vincenzo photoshop that?
Oh, I have heartburn just looking at it.
Yay! My hometown makes Fr. Z! Forget Steinbeck, this is Salinas’ proudest moment!
Heroic degree of gluttony? God made man goes into our mouth, we must not do such things!
@TNCath
Just borders on an occasion of sin with gluttony, eh?
Ha! If that just borders on gluttony, I don’t feel too bad about my bi-annual AYCE gourmet sushi.
O_O
“That’s what a hamburger’s all about “
I have to say when I was in high school, playing sports and growing like a weed, I would have finished it with little problem! Now – beef poisoning for sure!
mmm.
All I can think of is: YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20 x 20?!?? Good grief.
MUST make sure my teenaged boys never ever hear of the existence of such a thing. And I thought Animal-style fries were bad enough…
Can someone explain what a 20 x 20 is please?
@pelerin:
20×20 = 20 beef patties + 20 cheese slices
You can count’em in the picture.
Apparently there’s a website dedicated to dishes like these served with a side of coronary thrombosis:

Be still my heart indeed….
Oh, dear. I guess I’m a snob, but that doesn’t look very good.
The pride of Atlanta in this department is Ann’s Snack Bar, Memorial Drive at Dixie St. in Edgewood. She makes the Soup Nazi look like a little girl, but if Instant Coronary is what you have in mind, behold –

Now THAT is a burger (bring a box for the leftovers).
My 18-year old daughter and I said, “Ewwww,” when we saw the photo. Then my lanky, always hungry, 15-year old son walked in and said, “Ohhhh, that looks so good!”
I used to work in Salinas. Salinas has a reputation even among the locals as not having too much going for it. That should change now.
Gluttony?…
Thanks Art – maths were never my strong point! I was going 20 times 20 equals 400 . 400 what? Perhaps it should have read 20 + 20 then I might have guessed. It does look revolting.
I love In n’ Out, but that’s gross!!
This is a bit like EpicMealTime, except they have about a dozen eating what they make!
I will go to Ann’s Snack Bar for that light snack in the photo, to share with about 8 of my friends! *brrrp* ‘scuse me (blush)
I can FEEL my coronary arteries hardening just looking at that.
Banjo picking girl,

Notice she managed a 90 on her health inspection . . . for a dive like this, not bad.
Also, if you talk on your cell phone she will throw you out. She’s a tough cookie.

Oh gracious, will you visit me in the hospital? 8-0
This is definitely my favourite mortal sin of gluttony since the $2000+ gold flake pizza. God bless you Americans.
If this isn’t gluttony then what is?
The person obviously wasn’t really greedy for the beef, but rather was trying to do something competitive, like racing to the top of a rock. So it’s like somebody drinking a lot, but not actually getting drunk. You could argue that he was showing a lack of concern for how his body would take it, or that he was being overly competitive, or that he was just being stupid. But gluttonous, not so much. If he does it all the time, that’d be different.
If I pick out an eensy-weensy box of teensy-weensy chocolates, and I tell myself I’m only going to eat one but I eat the whole box (even though it’s not big), because I refuse to stop myself and because I’m enjoying eating way too much, and I keep buying the eensy-weensy boxes even though I know I’ll eat the whole box every time, that’s a lot more gluttony than this. If I hardly eat anything but I spend all my time thinking about food and my virtuous food habits because my food is so much more awesome than other people’s, that’s probably gluttony big time.
“I still felt like God had abandoned me and the terrible, satanic beef devil had devoured my soul.”
I really, truly love this sentence.
