CLEARFIELD, Pa. -- The world's biggest burger, which hails from Pennsylvania, made its world TV debut Wednesday on NBC's "Today Show."

Hosts Katie Couric, Matt Lauer and Al Roker welcomed the behemoth burger to New York City as part of a "Today Show" segment.

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pa., is now offering the huge hamburger after its crown as the home of the world's biggest burger earlier this year.

But now it's offering a new burger that weighs a whopping 15 pounds -- including ten and a half pounds of beef.

Dubbed the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, it also comes with 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, and more.

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub had offered a six-pound burger, with five pounds of toppings.

In February, a 100-pound female college student became the first to eat the burger within the three-hour time limit. One month later, a New Jersey diner introduced a 12 and a half pound burger.

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub responded with the Belly Buster, which costs $30 retail.

Over the weekend, four men took the challenge, but couldn't get through the entire burger.

There was no word on what happened to the burger after its TV appearance.

That's a lot of beef. My only claim to fame is having my name on a plaque on the wall at the Rosewood Grille in Las Vegas for eating an 8 pound lobster by myself a few years ago. Talk about a stomach ache but what an incredible meal. :lol:
