How to Get a Taste of the World's Largest Big Mac
Key Highlights :
The world's largest Big Mac may look realistic, but it's actually just a statue. Located in the PlayPlace area of a McDonald's in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, this impressive 14-foot-tall, 12-foot-wide burger has been on display since 2007 when the restaurant was turned into the Big Mac Museum. While it's impossible to get a bite of this giant burger, there are other ways to get your hands on a giant McDonald's burger.
In the Guinness Book of World Records, you won't see the Big Mac named as the world's largest commercially sold burger. That honor belongs to a beefy creation by Mallie's Sports Grill & Bar, a restaurant in Detroit, Michigan. Before it was eaten, the burger stood at three feet tall and had a width spanning five feet.
If you don't want to settle for a standard-sized Big Mac, the good news is it is possible to enjoy a larger one — just don't expect it to be 14 feet tall. In Alaska, McDonald's locations offer a Denali Big Mac, which is named after the largest mountain in the U.S. The Denali Big Mac is made exactly like any other Big Mac but has larger, quarter-pound beef patties instead. While it isn't on the official menu at any other McDonald's locations, you can order one and ask to substitute the patties from the Quarter Pounder.
As many McDonald's fans have already proven, you can also make your own edible version of the world's largest Big Mac at home. Since McDonald's has publicly shared what goes into both the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder, the biggest challenge is finding a pan that's big enough.
Whether you're in Alaska or at home, getting a taste of the world's largest Big Mac is just a patty substitution or a creative cooking adventure away. So, if you're feeling adventurous, why not give it a try? You may not end up with a 14-foot-tall burger, but you can still enjoy a larger version of the iconic Big Mac.
