Bub’s in Carmel/Indianapolis, IN has a 1 pound hamburger called the Big Ugly Burger. If you can eat the whole thing, they put your picture up on their wall. My dad ate it, and he wasn’t hungry again for another day and a half.

Cheeburger, Cheeburger in Auburn, AL. They line the walls with poloroids of customers that are able to finish their one pund burger.

Not exactly customer pics, but my kids were fascinated by the picture wall at Fat Cat’s Ice Cream in Kill Devil Hills, NC. There were pictures of submitted fat cats from all over the country!

Fontella’s Sandwich Shoppe in Terre Haute, IN has a $15 “Porker” sandwich that contains THREE POUNDS of the most delicious pulled pork in a smoky sauce – and if you can eat the whole samdwich – plus chips! – in 15 minutes or less, it is free! Plus you get your picture plastered on the counter and a free “I Porked Out at Fontella’s” T-Shirt…for those of us with lesser appetites, the other (smaller) sandwiches are among the most delicious – and unique! – you will ever encounter…

There is also Eddie’s in Brazil IN, which has a Wall of Fame for anyone who can eat twenty or more hamburgers in one sitting – and a Wall of Shame for any who try and fail… Eddie’s is simply one long counter, and the burgers are served on sheets of wax paper, with onions and pickles available in big buckets on the counter. Everything on the menu is under a dollar, except drinks which are exactly a dollar. Besides the delicious little burgers (available at this site since 1931!) you can also have an egg sandwich or fried bologna…

Bandido’s, a Mexican restaurant in Chapel Hill, N.C., posts a Polaroid of every patron who finishes El Gigante, a $15 punch-in-the-stomach of a burrito. The walls are surprisingly full.

Keep in mind, this thing could probably kill you.
