TIM ATTEMPTS 5 LB BURGER WITH 54 TOPPING
This past Saturday, a few friends and I went to check out this new burger place called The Counter in Palo Alto. Their whole pitch is that you get to build your own burger: pick your meat, size, cheese, toppings, sauce, and bun type, and you’re good to go. And a bunch of their options aren’t too shabby, either. For example, cheese options include gruyere, herb goat cheese pread, danish blue cheese, and tillamook cheddar. And toppings range from fried onion strings to hard boiled eggs to dried cranberries. Pretty much, there’s something for everyone here.
Their website claims that there are over 312,120 different burger combinations. But as you’ll soon see, as far as I’m now concerned, there’s only one combination worth getting. Here’s the story…
Quite a meal for… $45.50. Plus tax, of course.

n = number of items
k = items in each grouping
n!

k!(n-k)!
Now set n=54, and calculate the summation as k=1->54.
Big number.
I’m not a mathematician, but I think that’s right.
Hey thats just around the corner where I work! Let me check it out.
Hey there’s green on top. Green is a vegetable, right? Dig in!
Ha! That’s nothing.
Once I bought a 2 feet long bagette and stuffed it with ham, baloney, salame, french salame, 2 different types of sausages, lettuce, tomatos, cucumbers, onions, mustard, mayo, tabasco sauce, worcestershire sauce and sliced hardboiled eggs…
…And it took me 45 painful minutes to stuff it all down my gullet.
I believe the green is quacamole. Homemade, according to the list, whatever that means at a restaurant.
And Angel, you’re an impressive woman. Or clinically insane. One or the other. Or both which would make you impressively clinically insane.
OK, I’m going to eat now.
Wonder what his cholesterol and blood fat levels were after this. ;o) But as a one-time thing… cool! :o)
Ah the misadventures of youth. I couldn’t go near that without a week of Prilosec in my bloodstream.
