On Saturday, Oct. 22, Denver
Nuggets player Al Harrington took the Bugsy Challenge at Burger Joint at
Flamingo Las Vegas. Created at the beginning of August, The Bugsy Challenge
consists of a burger with six one-third-pound burger patties, six types of cheese
(American, cheddar, pepper jack, fresh house-made mozzarella, Swiss and
panko-crusted deep-fried provolone), chorizo, sautéed mushrooms, black and tan
onion rings, three strips of applewood smoked bacon, three strips of cayenne
peppered bacon and a fried egg, all oozing with Burger Joint’s special pink
peppercorn aioli. This massive burger is accompanied by a cast iron skillet
packed with two whole potatoes cut in wedges and deep fried, then smothered in
cheddar cheese sauce, three cheese blend, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions
and topped with two strips of cayenne peppered bacon. The full Bugsy Challenge
weighs in at 4.5 pounds and is on the house for anyone who can finish it.
Harrington was given 45 minutes to complete the challenge and unfortunately did
not succeed. The NBA player is the fifth person to attempt the challenge and
the fifth person to be thwarted by it.
This burger haven serves
patties shaped from ground beef, turkey and even salmon. Guests can order one
of Burger Joint’s original creations or make their own with ingredients such as
applewood smoked bacon, caramelized onions, jalapeños and more. For more
