Man chews through belly-busting 20-lb. burger

CLEARFIELD, Pa. - It took Brad Sciullo 4 hours and 39 minutes to finish a marathon. A meat marathon, that is.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound western Pennsylvania chef is the first person to eat a monstrosity called the Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser: a 15-pound burger with toppings and a bun that brought the total weight to 20.2 pounds. The mountain of beef is the product of Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub, about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh in Clearfield.

Sciullo, 21, of Uniontown, said he was surprised he finished the sandwich Monday. “About three hours into it, things got tough,” he said.

When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, Sciullo said: “I wanted to see if I could.”

The burger included a bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish, pub owner Dennis Liegey said.

For completing the challenge in the under-five-hour time limit, Sciullo won $400, three T-shirts, a certificate “and a burger hangover, as I call it,” Liegey said.

    Holy cow!!! I saw that yesterday and all I could think was "how many calories is that?!" You notice he won three shirts. That's because he needs to cut them open at the sides and sew them together to make one shirt to fit him after eating that giant hamburger. It's just amazing what some people will do for their "15 minutes" of fame. And just think about how much sodium and fat is in that thing. :noway: :sick: :tongue:

    Did some googling....


    I'm stunned! According to a quick Internet search, ground beef with a 10% fat content (probably a rather better quality of meat than that used to make this burger, judging by what's typically used in a fast-food joint) contains 798 calories per pound. That means Mr. Sciullo ate 11,970 calories in meat alone, plus the calorie content of all the trimmings, which must have come to at least another thousand or two.

    :sick: :sick: Grosssssssssss!

    Ok.........Ummmmm TaeBo burns about ummmmm75-100 calories per 10 minutes soooooo...assuming its somewhere around 15,000 calories....That's 25 hours (at the least...if u burn 100 calories a minute...so that's at top burn) Orrrrr.......If you eat 2,000 calories a day that's 7.5 days worth of calories..........But after eating that....I don't think I'd be able to eat for a week, much less even move for a week anyway...:laugh: :noway: :laugh: WOWZERS!!!:noway: :tongue:
