Mine are 17 but have a literal 3/4 lb (smoked) patty and 2 strips of real good old fashioned bacon, two fried texas garlic toasts for a “bun”, the real fancy french mustard and my house sauce, the best pickles ever, 5 onion rings but no side. I can do this because I’m a bar in the middle of nowhere, not in a major city with staff and massive expenses.
As I’m asking this nonsense question, I’m thinking of the punch burger commercial from the parks and rec show where they say who cares, put it in your body!
Ok apparently roughly 850 calories for the hamburger, 175 for the toast, 150 for the onion rings, 10 calories for the mustard, 100 calories for the special sauce going by the mayo base for 3 tbsps, 200 for the cheese and roughly 150 for the bacon. So…1700 calories at a minimum.
There’s a place called Bub’s burgers where they do a 1lbs burger challenge. They’re actually pretty good too. Not sure about how it compares nationally.
No, not on the menu. I don’t actually eat like this myself, I’m a big dude, used to work the rigs, trades, cowboy, etcetera. I couldn’t get through half one of these monstrosities i make if I even try. Probably how I stayed reasonably thin when I was a trucker. Been cooking long enough to know what tastes good, I had owned this bar half a year before I even tried the burgers I was making people. When i do make myself hamburger, it’s like a quarter pound patty by itself and i just fork n knife it with some spicy sauce, or maybe with gravy.
I serve people what are essentially “treats”. You can’t eat like this regularly. I’m well aware of the secrets of French Cuisine, which are sugar, butter, bacon fat and cream.
That’s right. Stop in for a burger, I’m open Tuesday to Sunday 1130 am to late. Tuesdays are beer n a burger 20 bucks, Thursdays 11 dollar wings (30+ flavours).
Good luck, honestly.
$22.50 is a lot for a burger, but I’ve had some burgers that price that are life changing.

You included all the sides on the burger!
What’s the calorie count on that!?

LOL, that’s awesome. Almost an entire days worth of calories. Sounds delicious. You printing the calories on the menu?
This is the Parks and Rec Ponch burger this reminds me of. “Put it in your body or you’re a nerd!”

Ha, thanks. Now I don’t feel as dumb for chucking the bread.

I honestly have no idea. Lots?
But do you serve it on a plate? Be honest.
yes. You can search facebook for the Lucky Loon Saloon of Tompkins, Saskatchewan for more details, there’s pictures of it, on a plate.
Ohhhh you’re near Medicine Hat and the highway. That kinda makes sense now.

That’s a shame, I prefer my burgers served on a snow shovel
I mean I have a snow shovel, and ten percent bleach solution. Always willing to accommodate.
Best of luck!
That sounds like a great burger.
