Detroit Tigers minor league team offers 4800 calorie burger

AP: "Well, at least the salsa is low-cal. The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor-league baseball team, will be offering up major league cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories in an enormous hamburger being added to the menu this year at the Fifth Third Ballpark.

• The 1.8-kilogram, US$20 burger features

• five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips,

• all on an 20-centimetre sesame-seed bun....

The Grand Rapids Press reports that anyone who eats the entire 4,800-calorie behemoth in one sitting will receive a special T-shirt. Saner fans can divide it up with a pizza cutter and share.

• The Midwest League team is a single-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers." via Lucianne.com
