World Largest Burger At Alameda County Fair!

Hurrah! We are have now established that we have the largest burger in all of California, in all of West Coast, in all the world! Cool, ain't it? Top that Canada (which previous record was at 595 lbs)! That's one for the record book! As a matter of fact, the peeps from the Guinness Book of Records were there to give the Alameda burger as the world's largest.
But they didn't made the burger to be in the world records: it was all for a worthy cause, dig it (literally!)? Individual pieces were sold at 99₵ while proceeds went to Alameda County Food Bank.
