Lots of us crave a big fat burger – like the ones pictured here – now and again – but how would you feel about tackling one that's not just fat, but a colossal 1.6 metres high?<\/p>\n
That's five feet four inches of juicy burger goodness, for those who prefer imperial measures.<\/p>\n
And a burger this huge was recently created by John Clarkson, a takeaway boss at Lancashire's Mister Eater’s Eating Emporium.<\/p>\n
It should also be noted that this 30,000 calorie burger also featured pies – hence it's name, the 'pie-scraper' – presumably a tribute to its tasty goodness and the world's tallest buildings.<\/p>\n
"I’ve researched to see if anyone has created a taller burger but no one has," according to Mr Clarkson.<\/p>\n
Having already created a burger housed inside another meaty treat, he decided it was time to try putting other things into the heart of burgers, he has explained, like a chip buttie, a pork pie or a pizza.<\/p>\n
In the towering burger Mr Clarkson created, items like a bacon sandwich and even a spaghetti bolognese are all part of the event.<\/p>\n
"I can honestly say the pizza burger is delicious," commented Corinne Clarkson, 39, who, along with her husband, put her efforts into making the unique and very, very tall burger.<\/p>\n
The whole thing has been proudly displayed at Mr Clarkson's shop.<\/p>\n
Other recent fast food news recently emerged in the form of a OnePoll.com study which showed that Americans, on average, spend over $1,200 – or nearly £710 – on fast food yearly. Burgers were one of the most common fast food meals people in the US were found to indulge in in the study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
