A Canadian barbecue chef is taking a very big bite out of the record books by grilling what could be the world's biggest burger.
Ted Reader set a sizzling new mark by creating a hamburger in Toronto that tips the scales at 268 kilograms.
That would make mincemeat of the previous Guinness World Record of 84 kilograms.
However, Reader says they still have to wait for Guinness to give them the official nod that they've claimed the biggest burger crown.
The award-winning chef used a specially designed grill with a built-in forklift mechanism designed to flip the oversized culinary creation.
Individuals and organizations were invited to place a bid on the burger, with proceeds from the event benefiting Camp Bucko, a camp program for children with burn injuries.
In the "Is that really necessary?" department, we bring you today's biggest burger news, in the form of, well, what may be the biggest burger in the world. Canadian barbecue chef Ted Reader took six hours to grill this 590-pound behemoth at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto in an attempt to one-up the Guinness Book of World Records' current 185.8-pound record holder.

The award-winning chef used a specially designed grill with a built-in forklift mechanism designed to flip the oversized culinary creation.
Reader says it took six hours to cook the behemoth of a burger, starting off with a patty weighing 139 kilos. The grilled patty was then nestled in a 48-kilogram bun, dressed with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, red onions, pickles and barbecue sauce.
A built-in forklift mechanism will likely be needed to extract the burger's future consumers from their chairs after they finish off this meaty beast. Can we get a calorie count, please?
