West Virginia is known for its breathtaking views – and we aren’t just talking about the scenic ones! Pack your appetite and bring your friends to enjoy some of West Virginia’s biggest treats.
While all the entrees are available to share, many restaurants challenge patrons to try to complete the monster servings on their own. Do you have what it takes?
1. The “BEAST”
Skybox Sports Bar– Hollywood Casino at Charles Town, WV
A 2-pound all-beef burger with all the toppings, featuring a half-pound of smokehouse bacon, a full head of lettuce and a pound of fries. Consume the Beast in 1 hour and get the burger free, along with a T-shirt and your mug on the Wall of Fame.
2. The Beast
Fat Angelo’s Pizzeria – Morgantown, WV
One of Morgantown’s favorite restaurants, Fat Angelo’s Pizzeria is the place to satisfy even the hungriest of college students. Bring the whole gang to enjoy 60 inches of Fat Angelo’s homemade dough, signature sauce and mountains of mozzarella cheese cut into 48-to-50 slices.
3. Mile High Soft Serve Cones
The Dairy Creme Corner— Fairmont, WV
The large cone has 9 rings, a medium has 7 and a small has 5. The Dairy Creme Corner also offers a “baby” size for diners who aren’t quite ready to take on the tower. Customers are amazed watching workers construct this architectural wonder, but the real trick is trying to eat the whole thing before it melts!
4. Bridgeport Brownie
Ye Olde Alpha’s signature dessert is their famous Bridgeport Brownie! Served with 2 eating utensils, you might need a to-go box for this warm double-chocolate brownie topped with vanilla bean ice cream, hot fudge, caramel and whipped cream!
5. Homewrecker and Widowmaker Hot Dogs
Hillbilly Hot Dogs– Lesage, WV
Last, but certainly not least, billed as “15 inches of pure eatin’ pleasure,” the Homewrecker hot dog comes with jalapeños, sautéed peppers and onions, nacho cheese, habanero chili sauce, mustard, slaw, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese. For folks who just aren’t satisfied with the Homewrecker, Hillbilly Hot Dogs has introduced the “Widowmaker.” Same fixings as the Homewrecker, except on a 4.5 lb., 24-inch hot dog served on a turkey platter. Visitors who finish the Homewrecker in less than 12 minutes get a free T-shirt, and those who beat the Homemaker’s current record (2 minutes, 31 seconds) get the hot dog free!
