Owner
Steve Mallie tells The News he wanted to show he has the biggest
and best burgers.
Flipping the burger required three men using
two steel sheets.
Dozens of customers -- some with a cell
phone in each hand ready to take a picture -- jockeyed for
position just outside the entrance to the kitchen.
A packed restaurant was there to witness the event
including the Southgate Mayor Norma Wurmlinger!
Chef Arthur Laramie: "I've been cooking
all night long," Laramie said as the monster hamburger made
its way to the front of the restaurant on a silver cart. "I
just hope they don't drop it."
Romeo Mallie, who helps manage the restaurant
for his son, owner Stephen Mallie, said great food has always
been a priority.
"He always wanted to be in the restaurant business,"
Romeo Mallie said. "This is a new experience with us and we're
having a ball."
Mallie's already serves 6- and 12-pound hamburgers.
After the 134-pounder was officially weighed,
it was sold to customers who were awaiting the charbroiled-treat.
From Mallie's
Sports Bar & Grill: The
Mallie's world's biggest burger is on the menu and
available to order for dine-in parties only. No delivery orders
will be accepted at this time. Please allow a
minimum of 24 hours to prepare.
The previous record was a 123-pound
burger made last year by Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, of Clearfield,
Pa.
