The Strasburger...8 lbs and all-beef

Anybody Hungry?
((ht: dc-sports-bog))

As we sit here at the OSG Global HQ, pondering our Ham and Cheese sandwich with sweet pickles we often wonder what it would be like to not have to worry about how much we eat.

That's why the Washington Nationals announcement of the "Strasburger" at Nationals Park is so scary. According to the Nats PR department, this hunka, hunka burning beef named after star pitcher Stephen Strasburg weighs in at a robust 8lbs.

Yes, you read correctly. Eight pounds...or as the kid in Jerry Maguire says, the size of a human head.



The burger features cuts of brisket, chuck and short ribs...and if you are still hungry afterwards, fries and a pitcher of your favorite soft drink.

We're going to assume...for the sake of rational thought, that the burger is not meant to be eaten by just one person, though we suspect that there will be plenty of people who try.

No, our guess is the Nationals are hoping that anyone interested in this will bring friends...because maybe, just maybe, it will help attendance. (Yeah...we went there)

 In the meantime, check out this video of Competitive food champ Kobayashi trying to set a record for most burgers downed in 3-minutes. (Bet he won't try the Strasburger)
