I treat myself to going "out" for farang food once per week, and I heart The Duke's.

In particular, their Joe's Famous burger:

Blue cheese and bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and spicy horseradish mayonnaise, served on a soft bun with a choice of fresh cut fries, hand battered onion rings, green salad or coleslaw

The best technique I have found is to get it with french fries, and a side of coleslaw:

You then eat the burger, then the pickle, then tip the coleslaw into the blue cheese drippings from the burger on the plate, apply tomato sauce to the fries, and eat the coleslaw and fries together to finish up.

Sometimes I also enjoy the apple pie, but this time couldn't manage it.

Joe's Famous ... 195 baht

Coleslaw ... 35 baht

Service ... 23 baht

Tax ... 16 baht

Total ... 269 baht

I usually go to the Night Bazaar location - I think the Iron bridge location is slightly cheaper, but the Night Bazaar location has less mosquitos and better aircon.

I'm most of the way there with you, Chuckler. I have the same burger at The Duke's regularly. My variation on your theme is to have the coleslaw as the included side order, skip the fries, but always, always add one of their dark German beers. Mmmm, mmmm.

As I have posted in another thread.......this is a 'real' burger!

Oh, that must be the heart attack burger. The waitress doubles as a CPR nurse technician.

WIMPS , the whole lot of you guys wimps.

Here is what a real hamburger should be.

CLEARFIELD, Pa. (AP) — A chef at a western Pennsylvania Italian restaurant ate a 15-pound burger with 5.2 pounds of toppings in 4 hours and 39 minutes. Brad Sciullo, of Uniontown, is the first person to successfully eat the huge burger at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, said pub owner Dennis Liegey.

The burger — called the Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser — include a bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish.

When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Sciullo said: "I wanted to see if I could."

"I've always had a heck of a capacity and I can down about two gallons of water and I can do a gallon of milk in 20-some seconds," said Sciullo, a chef at Pasta Lorenzo's in Uniontown.

Liegey's pub in Clearfield — a town about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh — has become known over the years for its massive burgers.

Sciullo, 21, ate his 20.2-pound sandwich Monday and said he was surprised he succeeded. He realized when he had gotten through half the burger in a half-hour that he had plenty of time to finish it up.

"About three hours into it, things got tough," Sciullo said. "It's exhausting. I chewed for five straight hours. I didn't talk."

As is customary in such challenges, Sciullo was appointed a pub escort. Philip Fimon, a pub cook, stayed with Sciullo through the eating frenzy, even going with him to the bathroom three times to make sure he didn't throw up, Liegey said.

For completing the challenge in the under-five-hour time limit, Sciullo won $400, three T-shirts, a certificate "and a burger hangover, as I call it," Liegey said.

Gonzo.... I am disappointed that you didn't toss in a pic or two... The guy that ate this burger doesn't look like he could eat 3 Whitecastles let alone the mammoth that he did.... Check out the website: http://www.dennysbeerbarrelpub.com/

Now that's a FREAKIN burger!!!!! :o

Its as if you read my mind Chuckler.

I was there last night and was so imressed with the burger that I seriously considered telling the whole world, but then I thought that another burger thread would last about the same time my burger lasted.

A bit skimpy on the fries, but the meat... I have not tasted anything so delicious since I left home.

Dukes is deffinately now on my calander for a weekly visit or two, waistline permitting.

Surprised they don't sell guns as well. Only in America?

Actually if you download the pic of the girls standing in front (same pic I attached earlier above) and zoom in you will notice a sign on the right side of the door. It reads:

'For your safety firearms of any kind prohibited in this building'

Yes you are correct - I hadn't noticed it until you mention it.

Let's not make any assumptions but the image after the last festivity was not a pretty one.

Could you imagine a total inebriated, naked 120 kg caucasion male (not bad looking, muscular build) spreadeagled on the bathroom floor heaving his guts up with the Rat (also naked), who weighs in at 40 kgs, crying her eyes out thinking that poor old Blinky was dying, sitting astride the prostrate body, trying to administer external cardiac compression.

Oh fukc I was crook.

I still laugh at the memory.

So do I when I loaded it up on YouTube under funniest home video section

:o

Ok back to the OP - the Dukes make a good selection of burgers - I like the Joe's but also the Swiss with mushrooms and cheese. The plain cheese burger is good too
