A US restaurant has beaten its record for the world's biggest burger with a whopping 15-pounder.
Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, already had the title with a 6lb burger.
But owners thought a 15-pound burger would prove an even bigger attraction, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Diners who can finish the £25 burger in under five hours win £200, a T-shirt and have their name posted on the pub's wall of fame.
They also get the burger for free.
"Every restaurant needs a gimmick - ours is big burgers," said Dennis Liegey III, son of the restaurant's owner.
Visitors come from as far away as Australia and California just to see the 6-pounders and try to eat them.
The new burger, dubbed the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, is as big around as the inside of a car tyre.
It comes with a cup and half each of mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup, a head of lettuce, two onions, three tomatoes and 25 slices of cheese.

OH MY!!! I don't think i'd even be able to finish the toppings what with a head of lettuce and cups of condiments. What happened to promoting healthy eating at these restaurants?
This reminds me of the time Aaron ordered the 'coronary burger' from a diner. He ate the whole thing, and his fries. It was somthing like a pound of meat, bacon, fried egg, I can't remember what else, the thing was huge. Anyway, he managed to finish the whole thing. I got a club sandwich and poutine and after Aaron finished his meal I asked him if he wanted any of my barely touched poutine.
