Supersize me! Restaurant offers 338-pound burger

Submitted By AP Wire Service

SOUTHGATE, Michigan (AP), Oct 21- A U.S. restaurant famous for cooking up giant hamburgers has outdone itself.

The Detroit News reports that Mallie's Sports Grill & Bar made a 338-pound (153-kilogram) ``Absolutely Ridiculous Burger'' on Thursday. A crowd gathered to salivate over the unveiling of the $2,000 menu item.

The sandwich packs 540,000 calories and takes 22 hours to cook. Manager Jason Jones says it comes with fries and a drink.

Over the years, Mallie's has drawn attention for cooking up monstrous burgers.

There was no word on how this one tasted.
