We eat at this place regularly. GREAT burgers, great pub
It took 3 of us to finish off their 6 lb burger.

Downriver bar on pace to cook record-setting burger
Santiago Esparza / The Detroit News
SOUTHGATE -- Mallie's Sports Grill & Bar is on schedule to cook a giant hamburger as part of the Downriver bar's quest to set a world record.
Owner Steve Mallie said he is cooking a 150-pound burger to obliterate the previous Guinness World Record of 123 pounds, set by Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pa., in 2007.
Staff started cooking the burger about 4 a.m. Saturday and it was on schedule to be done by 4 p.m., said Mike Matkin, a Mallie's promoter.
"The burger is in the oven," he said. "It is the biggest patty you would ever consider taking a look at."
It took three men and two steel sheets to flip the patty, Matkin said.
"It's good ole ground round," Matkin said. "We are going to display it for awhile and let people take pictures with it. We might start cutting it up and sharing it with people."
Mallie is so sure he will set the record he already has printed up new menus with the giant burger on it. For $399 and at least 24 hours notice, the burger can be yours.
The burger joins the 12-pound, six-pound and half-pound burgers already on the menu. [NOTE: see background]
"We want to show the world that we have the biggest and best burgers in the world," Mallie said.
Mallie is donating a portion of Saturday's proceeds to the Women Celebrating Life-Downriver, a breast cancer support and awareness group.
