Food News: West Michigan Whitecaps Giant Burger Promotion
Here’s a minor league baseball promotion that has been getting some buzz. The West Michigan Whitecaps (affiliate of the Detroit Tigers) aims to gain some extra notoriety by issuing a food challenge.
The tale of the tape:
- 5 beef patties
- 5 slices of cheese
- 1 cup of chili
- Salsa
- Corn Chips
- Around a pound of dough for the bun

This monster burger clocks in at around 4 pounds, 4,800 calories and costs $20. If you can finish it in one sitting you get a “free” t-shirt and probably a trip to the morgue.

It actually looks like a pretty tasty burger. $20 for that is a great deal! Split it up 4 ways and you’re set.
Have you seen our challenge? We give better prizes 🙂

I agree with Bear, it is a good deal for $20. Funny though, I saw the story last night and posted it on my site this morning as well.
If I ate that entire thing, I’d at leased want my money back.
Bear, what’s the size the Belly Buster? There’s a local pizza joint that offers a similar challange. 2 people on a 28 inch, 10 lb pizza.
That just sounds nuts. No thank you, I’ll pass. I prefer a burger to be simple and to the point. That burger is like the entire buffet rolled up into one, or should I say “under one bun”.
Being that it’s ballpark food, that’s not a bad deal though.
Evan – It’s 20″ and must be two toppings. You’ve got 1 hour to finish it alone. It’s got 1 lb of cheese alone. The whole thing is about 5 lbs.

Hey Evan!
Where is or what is the name of this pizza challenge place? With 2 people, I’m in!
[…] Crazy food can definitely be an extra push to draw me in to a minor league ballpark. Are you ready for Baco? It’s the taco with a bacon shell. From The Detroit News: “Those who come to see the West Michigan Whitecaps play will have the opportunity to chow down on a Baco, a taco with a specially made bacon shell. The Baco was the top vote-getter in the fourth annual Whitecaps food contest, which determines Fifth Third Ballpark’s next culinary delight.” Baco, a taco in a bacon shell, won the Michigan Whitecaps minor league baseball team’s fourth annual food contest.
