Though unofficial (it’s still waiting to be confirmed by Guinness Book of World Records, the previous record is 185.8 pounds), a Canadian chef has grilled up the world’s largest burger. Ted Reader, the man behind the monster, cooked the attempt in order to raise money for the Camp Bucko charity (they successfully raised $8,500).

The burger contains 307 pounds of beef, a 100 pound bun, 20 pounds of lettuce and 150 pounds of condiments. It took all of 6 hours to cook up. If you were to get the equivalent in your typical quarter-pound burger you would need to order 2,360 burgers. They had to design a custom grill with a built-in forklift mechanism designed to flip the oversized burger.

“It took six hours to cook the behemoth of a burger, starting off with a patty weighing 139 kilos. The grilled patty was then nestled in a 48-kilogram bun, dressed with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, red onions, pickles and barbecue sauce. I’m amazed that we got it out of the grill and onto the bun. That was the whole trickiness to it, but it’s held together, it’s edible, it’s delicious.”

It looks like some 7-Elevens are now carrying an Ice Cream based on your favorite Facebook game Farmville. Personally I’ve never played it but from what I gather is widely popular…that and some Mafia game, right? If you couldn’t tell…I’m not on Facebook…I don’t like being poked.

Neither here nor there, you can pick up a pint of the ice cream for a reported $2.29 and it looks like it just comes in plain vanilla. What better to go along with your Farmville frozen treat then some delicious cake. Here are some truly inspired edible farms.

One such writer thinks that a good solution is to put up a picture of Louie Anderson on your refrigerator.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia did a study showing groups of students slides of “stress-inducing visuals” (sick people, people blowing their nose, looking miserable, laid up in bed, etc.) and another group of pleasant visuals (I’m just throwing out there…Megan Fox, Winnie the Pooh cartoons, etc.) Turns out the ones seeing the pleasant images produced more interleukin-6, which the immune system creates to fight of infections. From this he invites the question:

“Could people trying or hoping to lose weight stimulate their bodies to burn more calories and/or be less hungry just by looking at photos of overweight people?”

I see what the guy is getting at…I certainly wouldn’t reach for the Pizza Rolls after looking at that mug below.

Hello to my dreams. How come I never thought of this? These are a few of my favorite things smashed together. The good folks at Kellogg’s have put up a recipe so you and I can make them for ourselves. I know what I’m going to be having as an afternoon snack.

“He wouldn’t be afraid to show his feminine side, if he had one. His mother has a tattoo that reads ‘Son.’ At museums, he’s allowed to touch the art. He is the Most Interesting Man in the World.”

“Be wary of a woman who only shows up when you are winning.”

“He once challenged his own reflection to a staring contest. On the fourth day, he won.”

If you’d like to view the all of the previous commercials you can see them at Eat Me Daily.

Maybe Dr. Seuss’ Sam I Am would want some green bacon instead of the green eggs and ham. I think even I would fancy a bit of this tasty rainbow. Check out how they did this and see the cooked bacon over at Bacon Today.

While reading an article about Hong Kong food items I stumbled upon Avlxyz’s Flickr account. Living in the city the avid foodie loves taking pictures of the wonderful food he eats and writes great reviews about them all (if you happen to find yourself needing a recommendation whilst in the Pearl of the Orient). Here are a few morsels for your Sunday morning.
