Some burgers have ridiculous names. Big Danny sounds like some behemoth of a man, not an article of food.
Tequila Hoppers in Upland, CA serves the namesake burger for about $6 (hey, a true six-dollar burger!) during its daily happy hour promotion running from 2-8 PM. You get to choose a side item to accompany the burger. I selected curly fries, but ordinary french fries or potato salad are options.
This thing comes with a full pound of ground beef. Along with the onion bun, tomato, lettuce, pickles, and cheese, it was one of the best burgers I've sampled in awhile. Maybe it's just the incredible value talking. It rivals the burger from Hoggs Gourmet Grill in Moreno Valley in terms of taste. The onion bun is definitely a nice touch.
Forgive the poor lighting in the photo above. The place was nearly as dark as the embers of Hell, and my cell phone lacks any sort of artificial light.
Since it wasn't a challenge or anything, there wasn't much point in rushing through it. It might have been hard to explain to onlookers anyway... why is this guy swallowing his burger whole? and so on. It wasn't much more than a 3-minute affair anyway.
If Tequila Hoppers threw on another pound of beef, this burger could easily be transformed into a challenge or contest item.
Custom-ordering extra patties will set you back $3 a shot, so at this rate you'd be better off just ordering a second combo.
Just be warned that credit card purchases require a $10 minimum. They were kind enough to waive it on my first visit, but then again no one explained it to me until I offered my card.
This is my new favorite six-dollar burger.
