Among them are a 14-inch pie-cut hamburger ($28), a 54-ounce Porterhouse steak ($100), a 32-ounce steak sandwich ($46), a pastry-wrapped sausage for three ($24), 22-ounce milkshakes ($9), a 40-ounce martini for four served in a 16-inch-tall glass ($36), and for dessert, the tasty if not tastefully named 38 Double D Blondie sandwich (two sugar cookies with vanilla bean ice cream, $6). </P><P class=inside-copy>Owner Telly Hatzigeorgiou's expansive explanation: "The venue is a really large space, with a 60-foot bar, big banquettes, big tables and a tall ceiling, and it attracts a lot of big groups. So it just lends itself to a family-style menu with oversized food."</P><P class=inside-copy>Could this be the salvation for all of those pencil-thin club kids?</P>

Well I think that this is a bit over the top but then again there's lots of burgers here with lots of weirdo things in it pushing it over $10 into the totally ridiculous range...
okay but I'll try to finish the martini by myself...
