It was just then, I caught a glimpse of the beast! Do I eat all the burgers first, then all the buns and finish with the fixings, or do I start at one end and work my way to the other? My honor was at stake here and I had to do something, fast! I spent my time waiting for the OMG concocting my strategy. What happened next made me weak in the knees.
I’m not one to fade from a challenge, so I said, bring it on. It was then that the worry started to sink in. He said no, but someone came within three bites before tapping out. Then he added that if I FINISHED the burger, I’d get a Sanford’s T-shirt too. I head on over to Sanford’s, introduce myself to James, and he tells me that regardless of finishing the OMG or not, I still get my photo on the wall. burger.Īs I walked around Lion’s Park for Super Day, I kept telling myself “You can do this! It’s just a burger, and besides, you skipped breakfast.”Īs lunch time drew near, I was feeling a bit hungry and nervous. As the day approached, I tried to psych myself up for the fight of my life. I let James know that I would be coming down on the Saturday of Cheyenne’s annual Super Day celebration. Including the eight buns and fixings, it weighs in at 5 pounds and stands about 15 inches tall.
All together, this is 4 pounds of meat alone. Here’s what you get delivered to your table: On the bottom layer is a hamburger, followed by a cheese burger, then a bacon burger and, if that wasn’t enough, barbecue bacon burger after that. As I listened to Martin’s description, I had two emotions: curiosity and a strong sense of fear. Here’s what’s on the OMG, and why it’s a gut buster extraordinaire. So recently when they did a menu update, Martin thought it would be a total joke to add the burger depicted in the graphic to the regular menu. It wasn’t a menu item, but people would ask if they could get one. I called James Martin, general manager of Sanford’s in Cheyenne, to tell me the story of the OMG, and to warn me about what I would face.Īccording to Martin, the story goes like this: About 10 years ago when Sanford’s created its menus, there was a graphic in the middle of the burger section of this huge stacked burger. Yes, I took it on, but hang in there, I’m getting to that. Sanford’s as most people call them, is diabolical! They created a monster burger called “The OMG.” This monster is a multi-layer plate crusher that refuses to die! Or in this case, be eaten.
This new challenger is currently undefeated, with a record of 12 and 0! Will it be 13? They have a ringer that’s taking down food challengers one by one, knocking them out. There’s even one in Dickinson, North Dakota. There are two in Wyoming, one in Cheyenne and one in Casper. Many of you could be familiar with Sanford’s Grub and Pub. Well, it’s not so much a who, but rather, a what.įirst the who. You might be wondering who this challenger is. Recently I got a text message that informed me there was a new challenger that I needed to call out, just for honor’s sake. You know as your culinary warrior, I’ll take on any challenger. You know this column is about food in Wyoming. I called out a new challenger and I took him on. ***For All Things Wyoming, Sign-Up For Our Daily Newsletter***
