While I was in Ohio, actually while I was in Columbus, OH my brother and his girlfriend took me out to dinner at Thurman's Cafe the home of the Thurmanator. For all of you who have not seen this episode of Man vs. Food, let me try to explain this monstrosty of a burger.
The THURMANATOR:
Bottom bun, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickle, banana peppers, 12 ounce burger, bacon, cheddar, another
12 oz burger, sautéed mushrooms & onions, ham, mozzarella & American cheese, top bun.
The thing is close to a foot tall, we didn't eat one ourselves but we did see one in person and it was scary. I ordered a normal burger and look how big mine was....
It took me 2 days to eat it! But it was by far the best burger I have ever had, period! If you ever go to Columbus and you are a fan of meat you have to eat at Thurman's Cafe. Be warned though we had to wait an hour, but it was totally worth it!!
Another thing we really liked about Thurman's was the way it was decorated, very unique. All over the walls, the bar and the bar's ceiling are 1 dollar bills. Actually they're not just 1 dollar bills they are decorated bills. We sat down at our table and Ryan said, "I'm pretty sure that is a federal offense". Haha. We spent half the night reading money and debating if customers colored them or how you get your money on the wall and we also estimated about how much money there was. I'd say there had to be over $100, at least.
Here's some that were by our table, unfortunately I didn't a picture of the bar :(
Oh and most of the money did say something about The Ohio State, but we did come across an UM one as well, yuck!
