The Thurmanator

I learned very quickly that you have to compromise on what your going to watch on TV as a couple. Andy could watch ESPN all day long. Now I am a UT football fan, but don't have a desire to watch every game imaginable! I on the other hand could watch E! all day.

Our first week in Columbus was almost complete, it was a Sunday afternoon and we decided to watch the Travel Channel. The show was titled Man vs. Food and it just so happened the host was in Columbus! He was at a place called The Thurman Cafe. We started watching and the burger that he was about to eat was massive and looked so tasty. Both of our mouths were watering, we looked at each other and said - Let's Go!



Thurman Cafe is a small place, during a weekend you could wait up to 2 hours for a table. We went at 3 - perfect timing, we were sat in 10 minutes. It has the biggest, probably most calories, and protein burgers I have ever seen. You haven't had a burger until you have a Thurman Burger! It is overloaded with ham, mozzarella, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, sauteed onions, pickle, peppers, and mayo with chips and a pickle spear. So I did the unthinkable and ordered it! I had to eat it with a fork and knife because it was too tall to fit in my mouth! Andy ordered a pizza burger (go figure!) - it was topped with mozzarella cheese and pepperonni's.



They have a burger called The Thurmanator which is twice as big as the Thurman. It got it's name because Arnold Schwarzenegger used to live in Columbus and would come order this burger before a workout, because it has so much protein!

If your ever in Columbus I would highly recommend you try The Thurman Cafe!
