Probably won the World's Biggest Burger for the day...but did it break any records? what about the burger eating contest? 8 burgers in 10 minutes...bet the crowd was cheering them on for that one!

The mighty size of american food portions
I remember being amazed at the size of the food portions when we were in the States, we would go to a dinner for breakfast, take what we couldn't eat and have it for lunch! I love dinners, they should be everywhere... maybe with smaller portions, though ;)

The mighty size
Dave and I generally split an entree. We were surprised in Australia that the portions were just as large. We've always thought the Americans were the only ones to supersize.

Sweet, sincere and so funny!
These small town celebrations are so sweet with the whole town turning out, but "we have flippage" takes it to a new level. So funny the fire dept grappling with the cooking feat, but the burger in this photo is gigantic--how did she/anyone eat it? Great story about why they invented the onion burger. I never really liked meat, so as a child, I'd pull off the burger and pile on the onions, tomatoes, cheese, etc. My parents called it a blunder burger. To each her own.

Sweet and sincere
I saw this little girl a couple of times and I can't say she finished it but she was certainly trying. She looked incredibly happy. She sat near us while they were cooking and she could not take her eyes off the process.

A mighty flippage feat!
Wow, we know why they were proudly shouting out that they had flippage...of course you'd be proud of flipping that burger! Burger and fries for breakfast sounds good, the portion looked huge, we'd have split it too!

A might flippage feat
It really was amazing to watch the process. Thinking about the weight of the grill they have created and the weight of the burger it was amazing to see all the mechanics necessary in pulling this off safely. They even drained the grease so now one got hot grease on them when they flipped it and they had to move fast. It truly was interesting. We love the small town American festivals.

oh the Burgers!
I do miss the typical American style (veggie) burgers with side order of fries! BTW is that really half a order of fries, and the full order is double that ??!!

Oh the burgers!
We Americans do know how to do a burger, big, small, or veggie. Yes that is indeed a half order of fries. The full order looked more than double as it was heaping. Far too big

What a way to spend your anniversary. ... Happy times. And what amazing food and minions too. Another place in the US for me to visit. It's useful to know about the taxi problems ... Booking a shuttle or cab prior to arrival sounds like a good idea.

Pre-booking transportation is not a bad idea but we did learn all we needed to do was walk to the far end of the pick up area and there was another stand with few people. I imagine that is the one all the locals walk to. We saw it as we were leaving with the limo driver. Yes please put New Orleans on your list.

So, we'd better visit NO one day...
You mentioned NYC and SF as being "cities with charm and their own special character" and went on to include NO on that list. We have visited two of the three and agree with you there. So I guess we have to visit New Orleans one day then because there we haven't yet been. /Ake
