The Case for the Hunter


I decided to try a $10 Hunter burger when passing through Hunterville. Little did I know the challenge that awaited me.


Not only did it have a meat pattie, an egg, a piece of steak and bacon, but what I initially thought might have been a hash brown was actually a crumbed chicken pattie. Heart attacks don't often come bigger or with beetroot. Yummo - though not actually edible as a burger.

Verdict: This was definitely a burger to give me energy for the journey ahead - not to mention a steroidally enhanced cholestoral shot. 4 Hunters out of 5.

Wow, that's impressive Rich! I'm picturing you with a hinged jaw like a ventriloquist dummy right now, trying to fit that thing in. Hilarious!

that is a very manly burger! Wow...

apparently there is a restaurant in the US that is now serving burgers with two grilled cheese sandwiches instead of burger buns...

It. Was. Hilarious. Not only for me with its sense of incipient, looming calamity, but also for the two locals at the next table who suggested it as a meal option. I bravely offered moral support and encouragement, in the form of comments like "here you can have my knife if you want. MY burger doesn't need it..." :)

How to eat a Hunter:

1) Weigh up the size of the burger, estimating the mid-layer of the stack
2) Gently wedge a knife or other flat instrument in between the two layers identified as the mid point
3) Carefully separate the burger in two, tipping the burger over and thus placing the "top" bun on the bottom of the second stack
4) Remove pineapple, eat separately using knife and fork
5) Remove steak, eat separately using knife and fork
6) Use the knife and fork to tuck into the remaining two piles, taking pieces as desired
7) Take time, chew well
8) Once finished, lie back and rest for several hours before attempting any movement whatsoever

Doubt you'll ever read this, but must comment. I just ate one of these last week. I like to try whatever's at the top of the burger menu and this was it. I can't believe the 'hash brown' was a chicken pattie, Christ! I didn't even notice what with the beef pattie, bacon, steak, and so on. I wondered if the steak was venison. FYI, I followed much the same procedure as you suggest in order to actually consume it.
