Red Top Burgers

Today I ate a quarter of the largest burger I have ever seen. Gary took me to Red Top Burgers, and introduced me to a true Colorado Springs specialty.

I was expecting a large burger, because Gary told me it would be, but I think my eyes almost popped out of my head when the waitress arrived with my Mike's Mushroom Burger. It was a full 8 inches in width, and about 2 inches tall. It was stacked with bacon, mushrooms, an 8 oz. burger, onions, lettuce and tomato. ALL that before I even added my sauces. It also came with a side of onion rings. I was in a greasy form of Heaven.

After my amazed and loving looks at my giant burger I started trying to eat it. I cut a fourth of it out, pie style, and applied my sauces. It was amazingly good! After I finished eating my quarter of a burger with fixings and half of my onion rings and a large Dr. Pepper I knew there was no way I was eating any more of the Goliath of Burgers unless I wanted to lose it all soon after!

I packed up my still enormous burger and brought my stuffed self home.
