Packers sell 3.5 pound 'Big Game Burger' at Lambeau

Here is a post about a gigantic, absurd, strangely beautiful, potentially offensive food item soon to be offered at Lambeau Field.
It's called the "Big Game Burger", a 3.5-pound testament to beef, cheese, cholesterol and digestive system destruction and it will be on sale during the Packers' Sunday playoff showdown with the Cowboys. Will Brinson of CBSSports.com procured the ingredients of the great beast:

» "Big Mother" pretzel bun
» 1/2 pound of ground venison
» 1/2 pound of ground bacon
» 1/2 pound of certified Angus beef
» Crispy fried onions
» Jalapeño smoked bacon
» Lettuce (and you thought this wasn't healthy)
» Tomato (six slices)
» Pickles
» Secret sauce
» Housemade jalapeño cheese
Here's another view of the strident patty warrior, with a regulation football placed next to it for the purpose of scale. We assume the top bun was left off so we could still see the pigskin:

All that can be yours for the sneaky affordable price of $20.
I reached out to Around The NFL writer and staunch vegetarian Marc Sessler with a choice: Would you rather eat at least 50 percent of the Big Game Burger or 12 buffalo wings.
(Marc is so disgusted by wings that I've become self-conscious eating them in front of him at local taverns.)

His answer: "I'm going with this chaos-in-a-bun creation. It probably has more flavor. And I'm not -- with my teeth -- directly carving into a dead animal's tiny legs."
Slap that testimony on a billboard, Lambeau!

I'm sorry to say, but after doing the math I'm not impressed with the meat/everything else ratio. 1.5 lbs. of meat and 2 lbs. of everything else is not what makes a good burger to me, I like a lot of meat between the 2 buns halves and not much else except some cheese, mayo, pickles, and onions. Now if they put about 2.5 lbs. of meat and about 1 lb. of everything else you'd have my attention. I do have to admit though, it is impressive looking and I'm getting hungry thinking about it even if it doesn't reach my ideal meat/everything else ratio!

If I had one of those Jim, I'd probably have to cut myself back to six beers!

 

[Phil Perrin]

All I gotta say is "burp"!

 

[Clint]

Hey Jim - I've gone ahead and reported this post since you have a financial steak in this..... IIRC you're a GB Packers Shareholder

Only kidding

I'd split it with someone so I wouldn't have to keep my beer count to just 6

There is enough there to feed a hungry family of four or more.

If you try to eat one of those in the stands Sunday it will get cold quickly. Eat Fast, or bring a little jon e warmer to keep it warm.
Now to make it really interesting, feed one to each of the players on both teams just before the game starts. Then play......

I could eat that with my eyes closed

I could eat that with my eyes closed

A person could FIND it with their eyes closed!!

The space shuttle could find that thing from orbit!

I'm gonna have to pass on that. Too many carbs in that pretzel bun.

Yea, too much bun to meat Imo, and that cheez looks just like curdled cheez whiz with some durkee onion bits on top.
As far as burgers, I've seen better looking photos (and most have been on this board)

This has to be meant to be shared by a family....of bears. And not the ones from Chicago.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Oh Yeah! Going to show this to Barb and see if we can make it heart healthy, of course I'd have to taste a few bites or maybe even half to get a feel for what needs to be done.
Got to go now my choke chain is getting tight around my neck

Choke chain is on and the burger is unreal. It does look interesting, maybe a eighth of it to get the flavors before making the helthy one. Mine will have bacon for sure!
