In an epic feat of stunt journalism, the Lake Zurich Courier recruited Chicagoan Kevin Schreiber to attempt to eat Wiener & Still Champion’s 911 burger, a seven-inch-tall, three-pound monstrosity made of nine patties and eleven slices of cheese. Through the two hour ordeal, Schreiber discovered that the key to doing this with dignity was to go at it corn-cob style, strategically placing his bites to keep the burger from falling apart: “It’s like a puzzle,” he told the Courier. “You’ve got to figure out where to eat next, to keep the thing from collapsing. Like Jenga.” [Courier]
