I know my brother ate an 8&#215;8 (8 patties and 8 slices of cheese) once and I guess the most that has ever been allegedly ordered is a 100&#215;100.  I found an account of <a href=\"http:\/\/badmouth.net\/in-n-out-the-20x20\/\" title=\"the 20x20 burger at In-n-Out\">someone who bought (and ate) a 20&#215;20<\/a>.  I was pondering the sheer number of calories in that so I looked up the nutritional information and by subtracting the calories in a regular cheeseburger (480) from the calories in a double-double (670), I came out with the number of calories per extra cheese\/patty (190).  I multiplied that by 19 (getting 3610) and added the calories in the cheeseburger (480) back in, getting a total of 4090.  Given that the estimate I saw on the 100&#215;100 from <a href=\"http:\/\/eatthis.menshealth.com\/home\" title=\"Eat This, Not That\">Eat This, Not That<\/a> was 19100 calories, I think this is probably pretty close to accurate.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also no longer possible to order something like this &#8212; they capped the limit at 4&#215;4 because they were getting some really bizarre orders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt2\"><\/a><strong>&#8212; 2 &#8212;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All-Star Game ballot.<\/strong>  The <a href=\"http:\/\/mlb.mlb.com\/mlb\/events\/all_star\/y2013\/ballot.jsp?tcid=EngRD-asgballot-2013\" title=\"ballot for the 2013 MLB All-Star Game\">ballot for the 2013 MLB All-Star Game<\/a> is out.
