You'll find it at 183 Thurman Ave., Columbus, OH, 43206.

Fun fact: This beloved Columbus burger and restaurant first appeared on the Travel Channel in 2008 via "Man vs. Food," and has since then been featured on multiple other shows.

It's piled high with lettuce, tomato, mayo, American cheese, provolone cheese, ham, sauteed onions, mushrooms, a 12 ounce burger, bacon, cheddar cheese, hot peppers—and another 12 ounce burger.
