Unnamed woman completes Ed Walker’s 5 pound burger
In A Hamburger Today’s blog entry about the five pound burger at Ed Walker’s Drive-In Restaurant in Fort Smith, Arkansas, commenter BillyBob has the following update
Our waitress said that just a few days ago a woman came in, ate an appetizer, the 5lb burger, the mandatory side plate,(that stuff in the first 20 minutes!!)… then desert, then started eating some of her kids’ food. I’d have been concerned for the kids, themselves, at that point! She might start eating on them next!
