Kansas restaraunt chain introduces 3000 calorie burger called "the Beast"

http://www.kansas.com/2014/01/02/3207343_spangles-surprised-by-sales-of.html

Local hamburger chain Spangles introduced a crazy new burger on Christmas Eve. And customers are playing along with surprising enthusiasm, the restaurant’s marketing director says.

It’s a burger named “The Beast,” and it features six 1/3-pound steak burger patties layered with 12 slices of American cheese and topped with mustard, ketchup, onion and pickle.

The burger, a 3,000-calorie monster, is too big for the average mouth to even bite. But that’s not stopping Spangles customers.

On New Year’s Day, said marketing director Stephanie Huckins, 12 people ordered the burger, including a pair of brothers who challenged each other to a burger-eating contest.

The only proper use for cheez whiz is on a proper Philly Cheesesteak. TheMightyFavog Jan 2014 #6

Couldn't they have used real cheese like sliced Colby or Cheddar?

Not because cheez whiz is good but because it fits the oeuvre of the burger. Also bacon-mayo. pickles.

Am I eating that? Non!
