text: A chef has created a 10in-tall, half-kilogram burger piled with six forms of three different meats and containing a whopping 2,000 calories. The Whole Damn Farm, which costs £13.50, is the creation of Sam Longhurst, head chef of Splendid Kitchen, Manchester. He devised the mega meal - which contains two beef patties and a whole fried chicken thigh - after he was challenged by diners to create a burger containing three kinds of meat. The Whole Damn Farm burger features two beef burgers, homemade bacon jam, ham chunks, a whole chicken thigh, barbequed pulled pork and bacon rashers . Ready, get set, go! Customer Angela Fox gets ready to take on the mighty meat challenge . The monstrous meat feast has two beef burgers weighing 220g, a layer of homemade bacon jam, 100g of ham chunks and a 150g whole battered and fried chicken thigh. Added to that is 80g of barbequed pulled pork and four rashers of bacon all sandwiched between two brioche buns. With a meat equivalent of six Big Macs the burger was created after a customer presented with the restaurant's 'Cow & Chicken' burger - a feast in its own right - remarked, 'It's almost the whole damn farm.' Mr Longhurst said: 'We are always up for a challenge and when a customer seemed disappointed by a burger that only contained beef and chicken, we knew we had to take it one step further. 'You could say we've taken it several steps further as there are six different forms of meat on there. I think it'll keep the punters satisfied.' The head chef joined forces with owner Mike Edge to set out to achieve what might constitute a whole farmyard of animals in one meal. Chef Sam Longhurst from the Splendid Kitchen restaurant in Manchester with his mega burger . Encased between a semi-brioche bun are: . Two beef burgers weighing 220g . Layer of homemade bacon jam . 100g of ham chunks . A whole chicken thigh weighing 150g . 80g of barbequed pulled pork . Four rashers of bacon . Mr Longhurst, who lives in Salford with his wife and eight-year-old son Matthew, said: 'It's amusing when people are cocky and decide to go for it, as it's a monster of a burger and they don't realise that. I have only just managed to eat it myself. 'It's loads of fun making stuff that's a little bit ridiculous. I experiment with cooking at home too. 'Matthew and I will make homemade burgers stuffed with cheese and cold meats, so I think of The Whole Damn Farm burger as a supersized version of that. 'I think Matthew would be scared of it, to be honest, a burger the same size as his head.' Mr Edge said: 'We wanted something show-stopping; we haven't gone down the road of using crisps and sweets as toppings, where it starts to get silly. 'All our dishes are quite fresh-tasting with just the odd strange ingredient.'
