Mallie's first broke the record in 2008 with a 138 pound burger, which was huge at the time. They were beat out about five years ago by a 777 pound burger before reclaiming the record with the 1,793 pound monster on July 9, 2017.

SPECIAL DEDICATION

Owner Steve Mallie dedicated the world record to his late wife Renee and to their daughters as a birthday gift.

"It's a lifetime memory for them. How many kids get a nearly 1,800 pound burger on their birthday?"

Owner Steve Mallie says none of the food goes to waste.

"We are going to eat some of it. Everyone that’s been involved will have a chance to taste it. Any customers that come in, if they want to try the burger, it’s on the house. All the leftovers, we turn into chili, pasta meat, pasta sauce, things like that.”

Steve says the rest of it will be donated to local shelters.
