Drunken gluttons order and eat 100-patty hamburger

By Cory Doctorow at 11:24 pm Thursday, Jan 26

A group of drunken pals went to an In-N-Out burger shop on Hallowe'en 2004 and demanded a burger with 100 patties, setting some sort of gluttony record at the burger joint. In-N-Out is justly famous for making excellent fast-food burgers in an open kitchen, and for allowing customers to order as many patties as they'd like, at $1 per patty. The tale told on this website details the attempt of eight people to eat $100 worth of discount fried beef and processed cheese-food "sweaty cheese."

# Total calories (extrapolating from info provided here): 19490 calories
# Total eaters 8 (2 girls and one guy who already ate dinner and only ate 6 patties)
# Most patties eaten by one person : I think I ate about 20. I think Nalin ate about 20 as well (including the raw ones)
# Time to finish : less then 2 hours
# Number of people who barfed : 1 (way to go Elena!) Oh yeah.... nothing says "Vegas baby" like barfing, not because of booze..but because of burgers.

Update: Adrian sez, "In-N-Out uses 100% real American cheese, not 'processed cheese food'." He also says that In-N-Out's beef is pretty good, but I've had their burgers and while the beef is better than BK or McD's, it's hardly ground sirloin.

Update 2: Sandeep sez, "American cheese IS processed cheese food!

Update 3: Brad sez, "Kraft American Cheese Slices are *not* 'processed cheese food.' It is 'processed cheese.' Looks the same, but there is a real difference: 'Processed cheese food' is a 'food product' *ulp* containing 'processed cheese.' Simply put, there is not enough sawdust, lint, whey or cow toenail emulsion in Kraft slices to (de)merit the lower grade."
