A US casino has cooked up a world-record bacon cheeseburger that's three metres in diameter and weighs nearly a tonne.

A US casino has cooked up a world-record bacon cheeseburger that's three metres in diameter and weighs nearly a tonne.

The behemoth burger was served up on Sunday at the Black Bear Casino Resort in Minnesota. It tipped the scales at 914kg.

Guinness Records representative Philip Robertson verified the record for the world's biggest burger.

He called the feat a result of "remarkable teamwork" and said the burger "actually tastes really good".

A Duluth News Tribune report says the previous mark was a mere 400kg.

Black Bear's burger included 27kg of bacon, 23kg of lettuce, 23kg of sliced onions, 18kg of pickles and 18kg of cheese.

It took about four hours to cook the patty, using a construction crane.

So many people even homeless in the U.S. Why does the media glorify these shocking events?

In other news.

Meanwhile, people are starving in Africa and a struggling economy like USA sees it fit to produce a 1 tonne burger. No wonder that country is going down.
