Those aren't buns; they're mozzarella sticks, making this the cheesiest cheeseburger ever. Chefs stack the burger high with lettuce, tomato, and avocado, too.

Wondering just what you're looking at? It's a burger with a giant hole in the middle that's holding French fries and cheese fondue. Gluttony at its finest.

Artery Clogger (Boston Burger Company; Cambridge, MA)

A word of advice, if we may: Throw caution to the wind and try a deep-fried burger. The patty on this one is coated in beer batter, then fried and topped with cheese, bacon, and barbecue sauce.

We're not quite sure why this works so well, but it does. It's a breakfast sandwich-meets-burger, with pancakes sandwiching a patty, bacon, and fried egg. And don't skimp on the syrup.

Sushi Burger (Redeye Grill; New York City)

Consider this a supersized spicy tuna roll ... that you eat like a sandwich. The buns are made of rice, the patty is sushi-grade tuna mixed with sriracha aioli, and the toppings include avocado, ginger, and seaweed salad.

The question's not what's on this burger — it's what's not on it. The 10.5-pound behemoth has two patties, Hot Cheetos, cheese, fried eggs, pork belly, and tater tots. Call the restaurant at least 72-hours ahead of your visit, if you want to conquer it.
