Pa. man chews through belly-busting, 15-lb. burger
The Associated Press

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.

**SNIP**

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.

It would be tough just to put that down.

I might be able to do this, but there have to be a good football game to watch on TV at the same time (we eat more while watching) and I would need a few days to prepare myself.

I honestly have to say that it makes me sick to even think about eating all that food.

I could never understand the thrill of shoving piles of food down ones pie hole.

When asked to comment on the feat, Senator Barack Obama said, “That’s enough food to feed a small Kenyan village. When I am elected President, I’ll work to make sure that we spread the food around!”

I bet. I'm surprised he didn't puke it up before the last bite.

That pic I posted was just something I found on the internet. It had nothing to do with the contest. So I guess we may have to pay for his bypass ...through Obama's universal health care, assuming the Marxist wins the election.

no, but I’m sure he’ll be covered under Obama’s Government-run health-care, which means you and I will fund his triple-bypass.

No, but in a nod to limiting his calorie intake, he did wash it down with a diet coke.
