Food Network: Where to Eat in Memphis
Kooky Canuck
The largest burgers — and most-daring burger-eaters — in Memphis can be found in this wood-paneled space not far from the Peabody. The Kookamonga Burger — four pounds of beef, plus two pounds of bun, pickle, fries and fixings — has gained renown as a competition burger. But it’s topped by the even larger King Kookamonga Burger, meant for two — and the Humonga Kookamonga for four, which comes in at an outrageous 25 pounds. More reasonable fare includes a variety of normal-size burgers (try the pimento cheese and fried green tomato version), a six-ounce maple syrup-marinated steak and tableside make-your-own S’mores.
