Bubs in Carmel - The “Big Ugly” One Pound Burger

[GetA2J]

1 pound burger, meh.....wants kinda of deserts do they have on the menu.

BBWWWWAAAAHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHAAAA

For you Wendy's fans out there, you can still order a Home Run (four 1/4 lb. patties). It's been off the menu for 20 years, but there's always been a button on the cash register for it. Whether or not the kid operating it will know how to ring it up is another matter entirely...

I'll be at Bub's on Sunday with the family. Never tried the 1pounder yet. . .

Slight :

There was a restaurant in South Texas I read of (never went there) that had a meal on the menu which might have been a good deal if you had a good appetite when you went in. As I recall, it was a large steak (16-20 oz, I think), baked potato, veggies, salad, dessert, rolls, and drink, and if you could eat everything edible on the plate, you got the meal for free. If you could not, of course, the cost was something like $50/plate, and this was at least 15 years ago, so adjust for modern pricing.

I wish I could remember the restaurant name. I'm not sure I could polish it all off, but I'd sure be willing to give it a try.

This, OTOH....

YIKES!

Back on topic, if I was closer to Carmel, yeah, I'd go for this.

How do you know this

Where is Bub's?

Never heard of Bub's. Don't know where it is but I think I can handle it if they don't load it down with a bunch of rabbit food! Maybe 3-4 slices of cheese................

Recently heard of a place in Michigan that has a BLT with one pound of bacon. I think they need to get together for the ultimate bacon cheeseburger.

My cholesterol went up from typing this!

...a BLT with one pound of bacon.

Bacon is the candy of meats. Mmmmm... bacon!

 

[Benny]

Bacon is the candy of meats. Mmmmm... bacon!

I have always said that...Actually I say "it's like candy but it is meat."

I think you're talking about "The Big Texan Steak Ranch" outside of Amarillo, only it's a 72 oz. steak and you have an hour to finish the meal to get it free. I tried the challenge twice (I really hate to lose), when I was driving over the road, and lost both times.

I was told about one in San Antonio, actually, but I did read about the Big Texan today after I posted this. I also saw a couple of steak challenges in the 100 oz range as well as one that was over double that-which would be almost a 14 POUND steak. Plus trimmings.

I can put a good sized meal down, but I think a 14 pound steak is beyond ludicrous, and the idea of putting away a meal of any real size in less than an hour is kinda insane- I like enjoying the taste of my food, too, not just making my belly stick out and feeling like I have a rock in there for a couple of hours while things start to digest.

Thanks for posting, though!

Ahhh..... just ate Bub's today for lunch!

Had the 1/2lb. burger with American cheese and bacon, with a side of "sloppy waffles". . . yum.

 

[Bhriindan82]

Their shakes and malts are pretty good. I like Bazbeaux's Pizza too, which is right across the street from Bub's. Try that out if you haven't yet...their quattro fromaggio pizza's is my favorite.

So we could do the Big Ugly, have a malt or two, then hop across the street and get some pizza. You should never try to eat (even pizza) on an empty stomach, I always say.

I might suggest that if we organize an INGO Bub's outing to devour one pound burgers that we also to a similar event with Sliders from White Castle. We have to have balance, after all!

i agree. sending an ingo eating team in there would be priceless.

I've heard of this Bub's and their one-pound burger, but I've not yet been there to challenge the challenge.

I have consumed a similar one-pound burger at Beef O'Brady's in Terre Haute.

What will they do if I can eat two of them? Actually, I'll bet my youngest nephew (he's 14) could eat two of them. He's normal-sized, but he's an eating machine. I saw him eat the one-pounder at Beef O'Brady's and he was still hungry.

spencer says he is in for a 1 pound burger. and pizza after. then some sliders on the way home. hehe.

I dunno about the white castle.... Just driving past them on a warm summer day makes me ill.

LOL, yeah I get gas just thinking about that place...They're so yummy though.

However, we should note that the most successful competitive eating champions are all skinny guys, sometimes to the extreme.

I completely forgot about that little fact. Maybe I should reconsider. I have been able to surprise myself with the amount I can eat on occasion. It's just kinda rare and hard to predict.

White Castles are another story... bring them on!

 

[rhino]

Now you're talking!

I note that you did not introduce me to your woman on Sunday, by the way. I see where I rate!

 

[notasccrmom]

You were the one pulling away as we walked up... I was planning on introducing you. We didn't have time to stick around for the full tear-down this time, otherwise we probably would've crossed paths again. I meant well!

 

[Lars]

So seriously everyone..... INGO Day at BUBS? When?
