If you're into greasy, cheesy, gut-busting fare like giant burgers piled with every topping under the sun, Columbus has got some choices for you.

And if you're not, find someone who is and take them to enjoy one of these two monstrosities while you gawk.

The Thurman-ator was famous even before Man v. Food's Adam Richman visited Thurman Cafe last fall. It's known for its massive size and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink list of toppings - and, in case you're still hungry, also comes with a side of fries.

At Graffiti Burger, which is one of Alive foodie G.A. Benton's favorites, you can top your made-to-order burger with any of a list of free toppings, which means you can pile them all onto one burger. And we, of course, did.

Here's a list of what's sandwiched between two trying-to-hold-it-together buns at these respective (and respected) burger establishments.
