Introducing “The Rudy Burger”

Sep 14, 2012 | Cheezborger

Ever wonder who holds the record for eating the most cheezborgers?

Meet Rudy! The record holder and the man (and stomach) behind this beast of a burger! Our new “The Rudy Burger”! 16 pattys (2.25lbs)-14 slices of cheese-2 kaiser rolls.

PLEASE DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!

 

The previous record holder ate 14 patties at Taste of Chicago in 2003. Our friend Rudy accomplished the feat at our newest location, Randhurt Village in Mt. Prospect. He even topped it off with some ice cream!

Ordering would have gone something like:

Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger.
Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger.
Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger.
Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheezborger.
