Default 777lb of Burger.

One of the classic contests on any county fair's midway is the old height and weight guessing game. But even the most seasoned barker might have trouble guessing the height and weight of this one.




On Saturday, at California's Alameda County Fair, a record-shattering behemoth burger made its debut. With the Guinness World Records officials there to make the official designation, here are the recorded stats:

  • Weight: 777 pounds
  • Thickness: 3 feet
  • Diameter: 5 feet
  • Amount of beef used: 600 lbs
  • Amount of lettuce used: 30 lbs
  • Amount of pickles used: 12 lbs
  • Amount of onions used: 20 lbs
  • Weight of bun: 110 lbs
  • Cooking Time: 14 hours
