Mich. baseball park to offer 4,800-calorie burgers
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Well, at least the salsa is low-cal. The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball team, will be offering up major league cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories in an enormous hamburger being added to the menu this year at the Fifth Third Ballpark.
The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips, all on an 8-inch sesame-seed bun. That's a lot of dough!
The Grand Rapids Press reports that anyone who eats the entire 4,800-calorie behemoth in one sitting will receive a special T-shirt. Saner fans can divide it up with a pizza cutter and share.
The Midwest League team is a Class A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.

The regular: The Quest for the Best Cloth Napkin Burger in SF

The regular: The Quest for the Best Cloth Napkin Burger
There’s nothing like a good juicy hamburger, and in the middle of “damn, my wallet is empty” times, burgers are (usually) an inexpensive beacon on restaurant menus everywhere. And leave it to San Francisco chefs to up the burger ante, with everything from homemade buns to pickled onions to one-of-a-kind condiments.
Since people still want to go out, but not shell out the usual dough needed to do so, I was inspired to do a roundup of the best beef burgers in San Francisco. But here’s the catch: they had to be at places with cloth napkins. You know, fancy-ass burgers.
The City is full of them, as I painfully came to realize. Really now, what on earth was I thinking? In the end, I hit 15 places. In a little over a month’s time, mind you. I tried ‘em plain, with cheese, with truffles, with mustard, without, but always asked for a true medium rare. I didn’t get to make it to every place in the City, because I had to wave the flag at some point. Like, ow, enough already. It’s a miracle I don’t have gout.
