The Burger That Feeds a Family of Four

fifth third burger

Behold, baseball fans, the burger designed to save you money at the ballpark.

The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league ball club, announced a grand slam/whopper-like addition to its 2009 food lineup this month and it's a heavy hitter.

We've seen giant foods before. But this burger, named for its ballpark, boasts "five thirds of a pound" of beef, nacho cheese, chili, salsa, tortilla chips, lettuce, tomato and refried beans on an 8-inch sesame seed bun.

"The Fifth Third burger is not for the casual eater," says Matt Timon, the director of food and beverage for the club. You don't say?

At nearly 5,000 calories and costing $20, this burger is billed as a meal fit for four.

Would you eat it?
