Burger Bet at The Cottage Cafe

20. January 2010

0 Comments

If you’re looking for a BIG burger challenge in Michigan then the Cottage Cafe is where you want to be. The information on the website only states that the burger is so big that they don’t think you can eat it, while a little more digging reveals that the burger may hover around the 3 pound mark. So while we can’t confirm exactly how big the burger is, it better be big if they don’t think people can finish it.

Where: The Cottage Cafe
420 Munson Ave
Traverse City, MI 49686
231.947.9261 | http://www.cottage-cafe.com

Challenge: The Burger Bet at The Cottage Cafe consists of a BIG burger complete with lettuce, tomato and a side of french fries.
Time Limit: 1 Hour
People: 1
Prize: Burger is free ($15.99 value)
Rules: None mentioned other than the time limit, but be sure to check with your server before attempting.

Absolutely Ridiculous Burger at Mallie’s Sports Bar & Grill

5. November 2009

0 Comments

Last night was a little different on Man v. Food. Instead of Adam taking on a food challenge of his own, he attempted to finish a 190 pound Guinness World Record holding burger at Mallie’s Sports Bar & Grill, with the help of 50 or so other people of course. Nobody had ever attempted this challenge which leads me to believe that it’s probably not a sanctioned challenge and just something Adam and the producers wanted to try. Sadly Adam and his team were not able to tame the beast in the 2 hours allotted and thus, Food won. And if you want to serve this massive burger up for a party at your home, Mallie’s will create and deliver this for only $2000!!

Where: Mallie’s Sports Bar & Grill
19400 Northline Rd
Southgate, MI 48195
734.287.0800 | http://www.malliesbar.com

Challenge: 190 pound burger
Time Limit: 2 Hours
People: ~50
Prize: I don’t believe there was a prize for this, just bragging rights.
Rules: The time limit was the only rule mentioned.
