With everyone excited about the USA’s 110 medal, 5 world record-breaking performance at this year’s Beijing Summer Olympics, I am pleased to announce that yet another world record has fallen by the hands of Americans this summer. No, I’m not talking about the men’s 200-meter backstroke or the women’s 4x100 meter swim relay; I’m talking about the record for world’s largest porkburger.Roger Davidson, Ray Lampe a.k.a. Dr. BBQ, Mike Tucker and Eddy Maurin went down in the Guinness Book of World Records for making the world’s largest porkburger at the World Pork Expos “BarbeQlossal”, held in Des Moines, Iowa. The enormous burger, topped with a 36” bun and cooked with a 36” spatula that stood at a towering 8 feet, weighed in at a whopping 123.6 lbs. The burger was topped off with bleu cheese, onions, pickles, tomatoes, banana peppers, sugar in the raw, and BBQ sauce. The monster burger was cut up and sold to support juvenile diabetes.
The record-setting porkburger was sweet revenge for the grillers, whose 2007 world record of 70.5 was broken by 17.5 lbs., thanks to some guys in Michigan. Will the Michigan guys come back with a bigger burger? Mr. BBQ and the boys think so. When asked if their record will stand, Mike Tucker responded with a smile, “Yeah, right. We’re already discussing next year.”
