The West Michigan Whitecaps minor league baseball team has introduced a new menu item this season- a five patty burger with five slices of cheese offered on a 20cm bun with (according to the Associated Press) "liberal" amounts of salsa and corn chips as well as a cup of chili, bringing the total calorie count to 4800 (more than double the recommended daily intake of calories). A Washington dietitian has asked the Whitecaps to call it a "dietary disaster". Meanwhile, Whitecaps spokesman Mickey Graham labelled it a gimmick. Read the AP release here:

It sounds tempting, but it's sure not something I'd want to eat every day. Makes me wonder if anyone's tried eating the world's largest burger (http://www.supersizedmeals.com/food/article.php/20060530193308305).
