I’m a big fan of ball park food, and I’m also a fan of the trend that ball park food is making towards, bigger, unnecessary, etc even if only a few people eat it. The idea of having it around is fun, which is why this burger from Indiana caught my eye.
I didn’t go to college too long ago (2007-2011).

For those of you who don’t want to go to the link above, the burger has three patties, three slices of cheese and nine strips of bacon on what looks like an artisan cheese baked on top bun.

It’s unnecessary, but hey so are sports.
