To clarify, this is a sweeeet burger setup. It is (3) 1/3 pound patties, lettuce, onion, tomato, swiss cheese, american cheese, 1/4 hot dog, about 1/4 pound of pastrami, mayo, special sauce, and LOADED with chili. The fries that accompany this delight are covered in chili, AND, you also receive an extra FULL plate of chili fries. Oh, and a HUGE milkshake. I’ve tried this twice now, and got stuck both times about half-way through the milkshake after I ate the food. It tastes very good, even the last bite. I love challenges, but this is a true feat if successful. Big Judd’s is easier, but their saving grace is the fries or tots you get with the burger; mainly because there is soooo much grease imprisoned within said fry or tot.
You can just get the “Johnny Be Good” for just under $10, which includes the setup above, without the extra plate of fries, or the milkshake. I ran up and down Table Rock twice, both times I attempted this challenge, and even the insatiable hunger that that workout creates couldn’t summon enough spirit to tackle the milkshake. The “Johnny Be Good” is much much easier, but there’s no glory in finishing it. Just bewildered on-lookers who are disgusted at the mound of food you devoured.
