A San Franciscan named Nalin helped his roommate and six friends snarf down 100 hamburgers at one sitting in Vegas last Halloween. The greasy exploit is photoblogged here (via Boing Boing):
Throughout the weekend, Andy kept on saying: “We should go get a 100×100 at In-N-Out”… [The fast-food workers] were shocked. They said the biggest order they had before this was the 24×24… It’s one set of buns and ONE HUNDRED meat patties and ONE HUNDRED pieces of sweaty-oily cheese in between the buns. Clearly, the worst part of this experience wasn’t the meat… it was the sweaty cheese…I think I ate about 20. I think Nalin ate about 20 as well (including the raw ones)… Number of people who barfed: 1… In-N-Out use to be one of my favorite things in the world. Now the thought of it makes me sick… [Link]
Beelzebub is the dæmon responsible for the cardinal sin of gluttony. Let’s hope Nalin isn’t Xtian 
Bro, as a mass moo assassin, you ain’t coming back a Hindu in your next life. And that next life might begin any day now — deadly sin is right. The good news is, you may be Takeru Kobayashi’s competitive eating nemesis.
I’m not sure why I’m surprised by this story. There’s nothing unusual about one tasty pair of buns surrounded by a hundred sausages and sweaty seas of cheese. That about sums up the college desi scene.
That’s awesome! On my short trip back to Cali I’ve already had In n Out 3 times =) I always wished I had the guts to walk in there and order a 24×24 … that’s one of my goals in life =)
hmm..being a vegetarian, couldn’t attempt this feat… would have to get the grilled cheese animal style with ehem.. 100 buns instead :)… gosh.. miss my in-n-out…nothing will bond you faster outside the state of california with another californian than mentioning in-n-out… that place with the fresh cut fries and amazing milkshakes is nirvana on earth 😉
hm..after reading the amount of calories and fat they partook in.. cardiologists around them are jumping up and down… can we say catherization early ;)==cha-ching…
so manish, you being a fellow veggie and all… what food would cause you to be this gluttonous (is that even a word? :)), happy friday…
Manish, that is the best line I’ve heard all week! bwa-ha!
chickpea, I dont’ know about The Vij, but as a fellow NYC wegetarian, I might say that New York Burger would be worth scarfing? “HUH?” you say? NYB has the very very best home-made veggie burger ever, they cook it on a separate grill with separate utensils, and even a separate line cook… Served with honey chipotle sauce, I might could binge out like Kirstie Allie on a few of them 🙂
I did five whoppers, three large fries, and one coke in one sitting at a Burger King in Canada, near the US-Canadian border my junior year of highschool. Didn’t eat for another day and half post the burger binge.
Yes, sweaty-oily cheese in the morning! My bagel just lost it’s appeal.
What was the size of the meat patties and buns? They dont look particularly big to me. Impressive nevertheless.
As Gujudude has thrown down the gauntlet, I must respond:)
I was once unceremoniously asked to leave a Chinese Buffet. 2 of my buddies along with me declared a culinary jihad on this particular Chinese buffet, whose owners were known for being stingy. We literally finished their supplies of shrimp, crab legs and other seafood. After watching the devastation for well over an hour, the owner asked us to leave!
Now I hungry! I need to get me some spareribs…..
Jughead style…
That’s freaking awsome.
Never been asked to leave, but then again, I tend to attack places that will keep feeding me. Like Casino buffets. There is one in Syracuse that my buddies and I planted our flag in. I think we left about two and half to three hours later, barely talked, just kept stacking plates. I think I had two full plates of mash potates and gravy resembling Mt Fuji and St. Helens (gravy on one broke through the crater and spilled sideways, downhill)
Poor dude who went from table to table collecting plates had nightmares everytime he came around to ours. We left him a decent tip for a buffet, and above all, I won my 15 dollars back at the slot machine the 20 minutes we did gamble before the adrenalin wore off, and food coma finally kicked in.
I love food. Though doctors tell me I need to eat more fiber if I want to prevent my frequent bouts of indigestion and gas.
Thats so lame. While most of the world lives on less than a meal a day (or 1/10th the calorific value of aforementioned burgers), our desi brethern whoop it up by savagely displaying the most hideous US traits of wasteful spending and gluttony. Go countrymen! Make mockery of the hungry world!
In my school in India, we had madatory lunch served there. Everything in your plate HAD to be finished, and whatever extra food was available, you were encouraged to eat, so that it didn’t go to waste.
Hell, we had food eating competitions back then, too, in my school in India. I once ate 28 slices of buttered bread. And it wasn’t some US influenced fast food pig fest. People eat everywhere food is available. Quality of food ingested is a different subject, but all western nations have healthy diets. The United States should be thanked actually, it was the one that revolutionized how food is created (resilient strains of grain) managed, and distributed. It’s easy to point a finger at the US and say,”you spoiled brats!” But stop and think for a second. It was efforts by institutions from the US that helped India out by introducing a version of wheat that was stronger and healthier, helping India’s wheat production flourish.
The economist has a nice article on the story of wheat.
And seriously, most don’t do this on a daily basis. It’s called having fun, or is that inappropriate too. Ya know, there are millions that are depressed and have no opportunity have any fun, their lives suck. No sweets, candy, carnivals, amusement parks, or enjoying comedy for you!!! Fun Bad. Mucho bad.
There is a chain store called Steers in South Africa and they make the best Chicken Tikka burgers in the world! I once had a competion with my brother and defeated him by eating 9 burgers! Didnt eat for two days after that!
You need to chill out hungryIndian.
Eating a 100×100 burger doesn’t make me a bad person. It’s called fun – you should try having some sometime, instead of scouring the net for blogs about Indians that are “contributing” to the vast problems of India. If you care so much about the hunger problem in India, then do something about it.
Think about ways we can better educate the masses on population control. That is the root of all of our problems. Is education even going to work or do we need some enforced population control the way China did it? I’m not sure it’s possible to educate the people fast enough at this point. Hopefully the rapid growth of the middle-class will help somewhat here, but I still feel though as it will not be enough.
But I suppose thinking on these terms is too overwhelming for you, so instead you go around bashing people for no reason at all.
Good work bro – you are a true patriot and a courageous citizen that is definitely doing your part to help out.
A food tip for everyone, if you can get your hands on some Nandoes Peri peri sauce you should try! Its the best in the world, good on anything! I got some at Safeway once.
All my food eating claims to fame are in the Indian Wedding sweets category: 26 Gulabjamuns once and 38 jalebis one other time……
man i dont eat meat and those cheeseburgers sounded gross but that jamun/jalebis is just absolutely repulsive to even think about that quantity… good job.
of course you would say that, lakshman, you’re disgusted by anything small, round, and brown that doesn’t come in pairs. jamun is gross, and so are you.
nice story, though. great desi line.
With odds like that, it must be a bitch trying to schedule a session of In-n-Out 😉

Huh, I’ll have to try that next time I’m in New York. Thanks for the tip!
