Super Bowl 2026: Monstrous $180 burger slathered in blue cheese fondue delights and also disgusts fans
Food monstrosities at sporting events in the United States are currently as American as baseball pie or apple pie. There’s a reason wild culinary concoctions go viral at the start of every baseball season: Fans both love and hate seeing what the country’s twisted culinary minds will come up with next.
But it all goes to the next level when you combine this American pastime with the biggest and most expensive sporting event the United States has to offer: the Super Bowl.

Put it all together, and it explains why a $180 hamburger is sold at Super Bowl 60. No, really.
How, exactly, do you add enough ingredients to a burger to make it total $180? We’re glad you asked. The burger in question – called the LX Hammer Burger – features a bone-in beef shank, a roasted mirepoix demi-glace, and blue cheese fondue that cascades over the burger on all sides. All of this is between two brioche buns.
While there is evidence that the finished product actually resembles a hamburger, the video above does it a disservice. Culinary icon Guy Fieri might describe it as a “toxic waste dump in Flavortown.” Of course, Fieri has a dish called “trash nachos,” so that’s pretty high praise from the mayor of Flavortown, all things considered.

When you combine excess with decadence, it doesn’t always look pretty, and the LX Hammer Burger seems to be an incredible example of that.
So, of course, the big question is: would you eat it? Is this even possible? One imagines that a medical professional would have to be called in at some point before a person has finished the entire hamburger. And while the burger is probably meant to be split multiple ways, we still don’t know how many bites it would take before your arteries start pumping pure blue cheese.
But maybe it’s for the best. Such a bold dish is not worth just eating. It deserves to live on as a work of modern art and a monument to American ingenuity.
