I asked Baby Boomers owner Rodney Maxfield how many calories there were in the Big Buster burger. He wasn’t sure, but guessed, when you include fries, around 1,600. If I had to come up with my own caloric estimate it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of “all of them.” This isn’t so much a meal as a banquet feast on a plate. There’s a quarter-pound patty, a grilled pork loin, cheese and bacon.
Because two meats aren’t enough. The Big Buster is a cheese-covered meat threesome begging to spend some quality time with your mouth. And if that doesn’t sound artery-choking enough, Baby Boomers can top the Big Buster. The Scotty Buster, named after a Leonard Boswell staffer, is a double Big Buster. Two patties, two pork loins, twice the cheese and bacon. Some states require a five-day waiting period to buy something this powerful.
