Happy National Hamburger Month! In honor of this red meat-loving holiday, here are five of the craziest burgers you’ll find across the country.
Four Horsemen Burger, Chunky’s Burgers, San Antonio, Texas
Think your tolerance for heat is pretty high? You can put your money where your mouth is at Chunky’s Burgers in San Antonio, Texas, where those who can finish their Four Horsemen Burger get their picture up on the Wall of Flame. So, what makes this burger so hot? It contains the four horsemen of the culinary apocalypse: jalapeños, serrano peppers, habenero sauce and the widely feared ghost pepper. Think you can handle it? The Four Horsemen nearly brought Man vs. Food host Adam Richman to his knees, so you might want to tap out now.
Dee Snider Burger, Grill ‘Em All, Los Angeles, Calif.
Peanut butter, strawberry jam, bacon and sriracha sit on a half-pound burger to create Grill ‘Em All’s Dee Snider, named for the Twisted Sister frontman and coined “as loud, brash and kick *ss as the man himself.” The next time you’re in Los Angeles, treat yourself to this flavor explosion.
Triple Coronary Bypass Burger, Vortex, Atlanta, Ga.
Throw your calorie count out the window for the Triple Coronary Bypass Burger, which features three patties, three fried eggs, 14 slices of cheese and 10 slices of bacon. Not enough indulgence for you? Here’s the kicker: two grilled cheese sandwiches are used in place of buns. Yeah, triple coronary bypass sounds pretty accurate.
Luther Burger, Various
The Luther Burger can be found at county fairs and burger joints around the country. What makes it so spectacular? Glazed donuts are used in place of buns. Depending on where you order your Luther, toppings can range from fried eggs to chocolate-covered bacon.
Elvis Burger, Various
Remember how Elvis was a big fan of peanut butter and banana sandwiches? Well, a number of hamburger joints across the country have put the King’s favorite food in burger form, offering an Elvis burger topped with peanut butter and bananas. Long live the King.
