While Thurmandelphia Steak Sub is where it is at! Flavor galore, I'm a pretty small gal but I took that sandwich down and still ate the fries! Mouths dropped and people looked on in disgust. Sure I didn't eat anything else for about two days after that, but it was worth it. The Thurman burger is fine, but to me it is just a very big burger.

Old school cheeseburger, cold beer, and if you are really hungry you can try to eat a side of fries or onion rings with it.

The regular Thurman burger, any format... easy to put down. Mom's "Clean Plate Club" training strikes again. The Thurminator burger Thurman’s brings out around the Arnold Classic can be a bear.

Everybody should try the Reuben Pizza Thin at least once... get it as an appetizer for the table. In a different style of burger, I must also highly recommend Jack's Sandwich Shop in Lynn Alley downtown. Excellent diner fare. Heaven must be very similar to their double-cheeseburger, crinkle-cut fries and chocolate malt. They also have great 50s style decor and an awesome wait staff. Cons include being cash only and having limited hours. Just FYI, a Thurman burger patty is 2/3 lb. Everybody should try the Reuben Pizza Thin at least once… get it as an appetizer for the table.

For the first time, a burger place actually did cook it medium rare and, frankly, it was kind of gross. I'm a meat person but it was just too much. Funny thing was, when we were there, I saw a couple big guys next to us polish one of these off each and also had a HUGE plate of onion rings. Unbelievable.

He used a similar technique to yours except he did not cut the burger in half. He also pushed the sleeves of his shirt way up past his elbows so he didn't get any Thurman burger remains on him.
