Travel Channel's Man Vs. Food Taping at Fifth Third Ballpark →

News from my hometown.

“The Fifth Third Burger gained worldwide attention when it debuted in April. National networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC and ESPN all showed the burger on air, and news reports of the burger came from as far away as Australia; Colombia, South America; and Europe. The monstrous sandwich consists of five one-third pound beef patties (five thirds of a pound, named after Fifth Third Ballpark), nacho cheese, chili, salsa, crunched tortilla chips, tomato and lettuce served on a special 8-inch sesame seed bun. The entire burger weighs in at more than 4 pounds and consists of 4,889 calories and 299.5 grams of fat. More than 100 fans, or about a half of the people who have attempted the challenge, have conquered the burger and earned a commemorative t-shirt.”
