Big Food

The StrasBurger
[T]he StrasBurger is a monstrous all-beef burger (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.
According to Colleen Gerg, a registered dietitian from Chevy Chase, Maryland, the StrasBurger is has 8,000-10,000 calories, 600-700 grams of fat, 200-300 grams of saturated fat and 2,500-3,000 milligrams of sodium.
It is the equivalent of 32 Quarter Pounders from McDonald's.
Example
Moby Dick

The Lake County Captains (Eastlake, Ohio; Cleveland's Class A affiliate) are offering the "Moby Dick" sandwich. It is 15 inches long and weighs at least three pounds. For $20, you get:
5 quarter-pound fish filets
8 slices of cheese
6 ounces of clam strips
A third-pound of french fries
A cup of cole slaw
"Gobs" of lettuce, tomato, pickles and tartar sauce
Eat one of these in an hour and you'll win a t-shirt!
Example
Jetbow

New York's Carnegie Deli has named a sandwich after new Jets quarterback Tim Tebow: corned beef, pastrami, roast beef, American cheese, lettuce, and tomato on white bread. It weighs 3.5 pounds and costs $22.22.
It is the first time the restaurant will be using white bread and mayonnaise in a sandwich created for a celebrity.

    Have you ever seen "The Return of Captain Invincible"? A superhero musical starring Alan Arkin & Christopher Lee (yeah). It has a great scene in a deli where mayonnaise plays a pivotal role.

    Here's the trailer and the first part of this is an unmemed meme.

    Not selling out - a comment on its namesake. Carnegie, Jewish deli. Tebow, of a different persuasion.
