Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub
Day 2: Saturday, June 6, 2009
Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub, Inc. located in scenic Clearfield, PA was founded by Denny and Jean Liegey in September 1977 growing from a small 600 square foot establishment to its current size. The couple started making giant hamburgers to attract attention to the restaurant’s much larger menu and create a fun atmosphere for all.
The restaurant is nationally known as the home of the “World’s Largest Hamburger Challenges”. It started with a 2lb. hamburger challenge with homemade buns baked in a coffee can, and “the rest is history”. The restaurant now serves a 2 lb burger, 3 lb burger, 6 lb burger, 15 lb burger, 50 lb burger and 100 lb burger.
The restaurant has been featured on The Food Network, Travel Channel, Tony Danza Show, Good Morning America, Today Show, David Letterman’s Top 10, and Country Fried Home Videos on the Country Music Channel.
The kids (and Justin), of course, are going to try the burger challenge! I don’t think any one of them will finish it, but it will be fun watching them try. Denny has emailed saying that he is looking forward to being interviewed by the kids.
