Una hamburguesa estilo pub pesa al menos ocho onzas, y algunas llegan a diez
Las hamburguesas de pub son grandes, difíciles de terminar de una vez, y en origen se ofrecían gratis para que los clientes siguieran bebiendo.
Pubs typically offer a more substantial menu than bars. They often serve some of the best burgers, along with pizzas, chicken wings, and light meals, and a pub burger is usually piled high with meat, cheese, vegetables, and sometimes onion rings.
Pub-style hamburgers are distinct from those served in fast-food or traditional restaurants. They may have a wider variety of ingredients, or ingredients of higher quality, and are usually prepared in a particular way. Their size defines them almost as much as their shape and cooking method: they are grilled rather than pan-fried, have an oval shape, and must weigh at least eight ounces, although some reach ten.
Adding lots of ingredients can make a pub burger weigh almost half a kilo. Its original purpose, to attract customers to stay for drinks, remains the same, even though today they're loaded with cheese and vegetables.
As for the meat, the pub burger falls somewhere in between. It's much larger than Kobe beef burgers, which weigh between three and four ounces, but it's about the same size as an average restaurant burger. Mini-burgers are smaller, and mega-burgers, which usually only exist to break world records, and extreme burgers, are much larger.
