A Sydney cafe is flipping out after cooking a hamburger believed to be the world's biggest.
The Ambrosia on the Spot cafe in Randwick began creating the giant patty at 9.45pm Saturday. Four men were needed to flip the bulging burger, which at 90 kilograms, weighed in at more than the average human.
Cafe owners Joe and Iman El-Ajouz said the burger was finally placed in a bun around 11.45 Sunday morning, eclipsing the previous record of 84 kg, set in Michigan in the United States.
"Just flipping the patty was the main challenge for us, but it all went well," Iman El-Ajouz said.
"My husband had to prepare special metal holders and a metal plate, he had one at the bottom one at the top, locked them together and they flipped the burger with that," she added.
The giant burger contained the giant beef patty, 120 eggs, 150 slices of cheese, 1.5 kg of beetroot, 2.5 kg of tomatoes and almost 2 kg of lettuce all topped off with a special sauce on a giant sesame seed bun. It was eaten by employees at the cafe, along with supporters such as a bread supplier and a butcher.
More than $2500 was raised for the Sydney Children's Hospital in the world record attempt. The cafe owners are now awaiting official confirmation from Guinness World Records.

How do they cook those kind of burgers...

Pointless, they just wanted to get into the record books.
I think its somewhere in the East US, that has the largest consumer burger.

Wow, way to promote my country's already reasonably unhealthy image. D<
And, what's slightly ironic is that they raised money for Sydney Children's Hospital. I mean, come on, that burger could do alot of harm as well and cause a kid to end up in the hospital <.<
