Bobs BBQ

Bob, who is always in the kitchen trying out new dishes, has added a "daily special" of fun and interesting dishes that are his "brainchild" of the day. I've added a permalink over on the right to Bob's website where the daily special is always posted.

Now, thousands upon thousands of you have written to me and accused me of being full of it, when I talk about how big Bob's hamburgers are.

Well, Bob has 3 different sized hamburgers: The smallest one he has is called the "Silver Dollar", which is a full quarter-pound of beef. Remember: That's the smallest. The next larger size is the "Cattleman" hamburger, which is a little over half a pound of beef. You have to admit, that's a good sized burger.

But wait! That is only the medium-sized burger.

Here is Bob's "Wagon Wheel" burger:

This is an 8-inch burger with a 1½ pounds of meat on it. When you add up all the toppings and the bun, you've got yourself a 3-pound Wagon Wheel meal.

What? Still not convinced Bob has big burgers? Well alright then, how about the Lone Star Legend? Yes indeed: How about a 12-inch hamburger with 6½ pounds of beef?

Absolutely. On any day of the week, with a couple of hours advance notice (because it does take time to cook such a thing), you can walk into Bob's BBQ and be served (with all the toppings and bun), an 11½ pound hamburger for 1295 baht ($35).

By the way, I did the figuring: The Lone Star Legend has about 13,000 calories, about 650 grams of fat.

UPDATE:

I had dinner with Bob at "Eat Alls" tonight, and he told me that I could break the news here on the blog. It's something I already knew, but wasn't allowed to mention:

Bob is going to be making the World's Largest Hamburger. (More accurately described as "The Restaurant with the Largest Hamburger" as the World's Largest Hamburger weighs in at over 4,000 pounds.) I'm not allowed to say how big it is, because that part is currently a secret, but suffice it to say that it will be bigger than the current record holder.
