Really Big Hamburger

[Holly Moore]

There's a place in non-urban PA that's famous for it's big, really really big burgers. Can anyone help me with the name/location?

Thanks.

I remember seeing this place on Extreme Cuisine a couple of years ago.

Yeppers. That's the one.

Wonder if they do a double decker big mac style burger too?

Thanks.

That's one big burger.

Almost worth the ride out there, but not quite

Piker!!!

I've been to Clearfield, and to DuBois, and to Brookville. And, to St Marys and Walston. Gertrude Stein's comments on "no there, there" apply in spades to these places.

However, I will make an exception for Straub's beer in St Marys and perhaps for this big burger next time I'm in the area.

Any trip to Clearfield is worth the ride north into the woods to Straub's in St Marys. I was there about 7 years ago, my own personal tour and a nice free flowing tap. You have to like a place that allows you to climb up a ladder to peer down into the open topped fermenting vats. The guide did tell me to remove my hat lest it fall in.

I grew up in Bradford and Titusville, and can say that Straub's was my first beer. Very light body, but it's quite quaffable. I grab a couple of cases whenever I visit my family up there. They were one of the first breweries to indicate on the label when the beer was brewed.

[Rail Paul]

Straub's is great beer.

Lest I be accused of maligning the fair residents of Elk County, Clearfield, Center, etc, I would like to point out some of the loveliest women on earth are from that area.

'nuff said. that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

guajolote,

THAT IS AWESOME! What great pics! Ive never seen a hamburger like that!

I ate a burger last summer that was one lb and finished it easy here in Chicago @ Boston Blackies - I want to try something bigger...and Im skinny!

Lets make some burgers this Saturday ! 3lBs er's !!!!!! We'll be famous...

Wow! I will no longer claim that Kopps makes "the biggest burgers I have ever seen."

Just curious, how much did that thing cost? What, aside from serious gas, did you get if you had the misfortune to finish your meal?

[awbrig]

Kopps still rock. I didnt see a slab of butter on guajolote's burger

[Varmint]

Kopps? It's been years since I've had Kopps. So sad. So blue. I need a good cry now.

That's not a picture of me, it's just a picture of the burder I found on the web. If I remember correctly this place has a 2 lb. burger (shown), a 5 lb., and a 10 lb. No one has ever eaten a whole 10 lb.

In order top make this burger they have to add eggs and bread crumbs to the burger so it doesn't fall apart, so it's really more of a meat loaf burger. The spatula they used to flip it was really cool, it reminded me of John Candy flipping pancakes with a snow shovel in Uncle Buck.

Has anyone tried one? I think I could eat a 2lber in an hour if it was really tasty.

Just wanted to add that the Hub ate at Denny's last week--he was enroute to Ohio from NJ--he reported that he had a delicious (standard sized) blue cheese burger with fries there--he said that the fries were really good, too--and best of all, a Yuengling was $1.79!

He didn't know about the Straub's beer --we will do further research on this!

I must say that we are thrilled to find a good place to eat along 80--we travel to Ohio several times a year and had just about given up--we ate fast food both ways the last time--and that was truly depressing....
