Baseball Parks are known for great hot dogs, nachos and beer but their hamburgers aren’t talked about much because hamburgers take a special touch and don’t mass produce as easily as a hot dog.  While checking some sports news on Yahoo last night I came across the following burger insight and picture:

Holy Crap!  1.67 lbs. of Hamburger Power

A minor league baseball team in Michigan came up with this and apparently no one has eaten the whole thing yet.  This burger consists of the following ingredients: 1.67 pounds (rounded up) of grilled ground beef, topped with  nacho cheese, chili, salsa, Fritos (despite what’s in the photo), tomato and lettuce served on a 8-inch sesame seed bun.

This was also awarded “Concession Item of the Year by CNBC“.  Now when this is available in the western United States or I go to Michigan for a minor league baseball game consider it sold!  At only $20 it’s even affordable.  For healthy eaters, here’s a look at the Nutritional Value:
