Minor-league team takes meat up a notch

Nothing like a giant cheeseburger to drown the sorrow of LeBron James' departure.

The Akron Aeros, the Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, are flipping out a new meaty creation for next season. Starting with their home opener on April 7, fans can enjoy the "Nice 2 Meat You" Burger at Canal Park.

Just hearing what's in the "Nice 2 Meat You" might require a loosening of your belt. It's made of a "1-1/4-pound hamburger, stuffed with a 1/2-pound hot dog, and 1/4 pound of bacon, cheese and onions," according to the team's website.

The Aeros already are known for their gastro-creativity, having released the "3 Dog Night,' which is a "hot dog stuffed inside a kielbasa, topped with sauerkraut and stadium mustard, on a hoagie roll."

No word yet as to whether each menu item comes with a free angioplasty.
