Its only just begun

the Big Daddy Barrick Burger



For those non-diet conscious carnivores who consider a half-pound hamburger a mere appetizer, the Plaza Diner at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Downtown Las Vegas has just the hamburger: the 9 pound "Big Daddy Barrick Burger." Served with a bun 12" in diameter, a half head of lettuce, two tomatoes, two onions, four pickles, mayo, mustard and 12 slices of American cheese, the burger big enough to feed a softball team is available for $29.99. If one person finishes the burger within 24 hours, it is free!If the "Big Daddy Barrick Burger" is a bit much, it only takes finishing the 1 1/2 pound "Barrick Burger" within 30 minutes to earn a spot on the "Barrick Burger Wall of Fame." The Plaza Diner and the Western Hotel and Casino both offer the scaled-down, though still enormous, "Barrick Burger" for $9.99. It is prepared with an oversized bun and three times the lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayo, mustard and of American cheese. Both the "Big Daddy Barrick Burger" and the "Barrick Burger" are served with a side of fries and Maalox.
