Cheeburger Cheeburger

The big event will take place on November 25th at 1PM at the Parker location of Cheeburger Cheeburger located at 11290 South Twenty Mile Road in Parker, Colorado. We might have enough people to set the simultaneous Pounder eating record!


The Cheeburger Cheeburger logos are black and white versions. Keep reading and you'll know why.

These two guys at work heard and read about my Pounder experience at Cheeburger Cheeburger. We got to talking about it, the Denver area Cheeburger Cheeburger record and the national Cheeburger Cheeburger record.

This is one of the guys.

The other guy is very mysterious and I guess does not allow photos of him to be taken.


Though the Denver area Cheeburger Cheeburger record still needs to be clarified, I think it is 4 Pounders. After some more talk they kind of challenge me to match that record. No, they up the challenge: set the record -- do 4+. One dude will buy one of the Pounders and the other dude will pony up for two of them. Enablers! Giddy up!

The big event will go down, as of now, on November 25th at 1PM at the Parker location of Cheeburger Cheeburger. There are already some people who will be there to lend their support. If there are enough people there who want to participate, there will be two side events so people do not get bored watching a guy eat.

1. The Cheeburger Cheeburger in Sanibel Island, Florida has the national franchise record of simultaneous people to be eating Pounders at the same time - 6. That would not be too hard to beat if enough people show up. Imagine the glory!
2. There will be a friendly competition to eat the Pounder the fastest. Cheeburger Cheeburger has not kept this information so there is no official record right now. The winner will get their picture on the wall, a Cheeburger Cheeburger t-shirt, bragging rights and set a national record for eating a Pounder the fastest. Woo hoo!

Anyone who wants to show up to take part in the festivities can come to the Cheeburger Cheeburger located at 11290 South Twenty Mile Road in Parker, Colorado on November 25th at 1PM.

Further details are still being worked out. Check back here for additional information as it becomes available.

Party People, Where You At!

Yes, that title is gramatically shocking but it fits the situation!

So there is a party over here (some pictures) and a party over there (video of the hot dog contest!).

If you want to watch the video I suggest you right-click the video link and save the video file to your computer. It is a large file (15 MB) so you will only be able to download it if you're on a fast connection.
