Wow. Just... wow...

Anyone who knows me will know that I have something of a soft spot for food. That's why I got up to (and some way beyond) 200lb in the first place.

In some ways I'm glad I don't live in the USA when it comes to food. Such staples as the Philly cheesesteak and the row upon row of fast-food joints make it all too easy to fall into bad eating habits. But I think this one just about out-chomps them all.

Apparently, the Washington Nationals are going to offer the StrasBurger (named after their star pitcher, Stephen Strasburg) for the 2012 season. Made of a combination of: ground brisket, chuck and short ribs, the burger is served on a large burger bun with our secret sauce, American cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onions, pickle chips and served with a cone basket of fresh cut fries and a pitcher of your choice of soft drink.

It doesn't say anything about price, but what it does tell you is that it weighs... 8lb. Eight... pounds? Let me quantify that for you. Take a 2-pint carton of milk. Now take 3 more. Fill them all with food. That's how much you're eating. I defy anyone (even me) to put that down.
