Just a little snack

for the first time in my life I ate at Cheeseburger Cheeseburger in Chandler, (Arizona). I and my wife and kids met my wife's parents there. After we all were seated, my father-in-law turned to me and asked me if I wanted "the burger".

He of course was referring to the one-pounder, actully the patty is twenty ounces precooked. Answering like it was no big deal, because it wasn't, I told him yes.


After about another fifteen minutes and one sierra mist, three mug root beers, four cups of water, and half a regular size frings later, I got my "big" burger, as everyone recieved their own food, (all others ordered hamburgers except my daughter which got chicken tenders.


After finishing my "big" burger I was approached by one of the many watching restaurant employees and asked if I was full. As I looked over the rest of the table I was sitting at, noticing that no one else had even completed half of their meals, I answered with all honesty, "not-really".

My father-in-law, a little surprised, asked me if I wanted another burger, (which I had wanted all along but was not planning on asking since they were buying our dinner.
Our server surprised as well, took the order and remarked that she thought that I ate "a lot", and later on during my meal that I "was of the fastest eaters" that she had ever seen.

I responded by telling I told her that her that I had three one puond burgera at Fudruckers before with lots of sides and two shakes, (as well as always getting two one burgers there at a time), and that this was no big deal, and that was just how I always have "eaten".


After the first one was consumed it was announced that I had eaten the one pound burger. It was added in a much quieter tone, trailing the announcement, that I was "planning on eating another one".

The second burger came to the table in about another fifteen minutes. After the wait time in which I only took in liquids, (about two more cups of root beer and water each), and a couple fries, I began to again another one of their "large" hamburgers.

The second one was much more satisfying, for the first one was not much more than a tease. Something else was different about the second burger in addition to the relative satisfaction gained, it looked almost bigger than the first.

My wife noticed too. I'm not sure if as a joke to see if I could be stopped short of finishing my second burger, or the cook was just generous and in some way "rewarding" me for finishing one and actually ordering another one, but meat appeared to have been added to the patty , (which would be easy because their meat is supposed to be not ever frozen). Perhaps a five and one-half ounce patty was merged with the larger one before cooking. Maybe not, but it looked larger anyway.

The way that everyone working in the burger restauran who could see was watching me eat the second burger almost makes me wonder if the larger appearing meat and the cheese, which was actually doubled in amount on he second burger as opposed to the first, was constructed to see if I really could another one, (even a slightly beefier one). If this was a challenge, then it was overcome with great ease as I finished my meal.


The people working at the restaurant were very surprised that I had completed two of what most people considered "monsters".

One 20 ounce burger, one perhaps larger, half of a regular sized frings, and about fourteen glasses of soda and water combined; not such a bad meal. I left satisfied but not stuffed! I try not to eat till I get "full" I stop when complacent.

On the way out the door I could see that my picture was already posted on the wall, which stated that I had eaten "two 20 ounce" snack burgers. One guy I noticed a picture of had eaten three of these burgers, and had a picture set aside on the counter. The burgers here were very tender and many many times I have eaten more food than today in this restaurant, so the next time perhaps a more filling three burgers will be downed.

Sorry no pictures were taken. I did not know if this place would taste that great, and only planned on eating two max. Only two burgers I believe is significant for a blog entry, but not one with pictures. Please post a comment if you disagree, and I will make sure to add photos of meals like this which would be considered "minor" feats by many.

I'll post again soon
