Pa. man eats15-lb. burger
This nauseates me in more ways than one.



"CLEARFIELD, Pa. - A chef at a western Pennsylvania Italian restaurant ate a 15-pound burger with 5.2 pounds of toppings in 4 hours and 39 minutes.

Brad Sciullo, of Uniontown, is the first person to successfully eat the huge burger at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, said pub owner Dennis Liegey. The burger - called the Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser - included a bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish.

When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Sciullo said: "I wanted to see if I could."

"I've always had a heck of a capacity and I can down about two gallons of water and I can do a gallon of milk in 20-some seconds," said Sciullo, a chef at Pasta Lorenzo's in Uniontown..."

10. This might answer your question.
"As is customary in such challenges, Sciullo was appointed a pub escort. Philip Fimon, a pub cook, stayed with Sciullo through the eating frenzy, even going with him to the bathroom three times to make sure he didn't throw up, Liegey said."

8. I can see someone trying to top that,
either eating a bigger burger or downing it faster. The only question I have is why? Why do such a thing? And look at him. He must have the metabolism of a hummingbird.

9. I can't wait until...
We can order something like that in the drive-thru.
TELL me, you can't see a forklift loading your 15 pound burger through your window.
AND before they place your order they ask you if ("You want to SUPER-SIZE it!)

They don't hate us for our freedoms, they hate us for our burgers.

11. That's more food by weight than I can eat in a week.
A gallon of milk in twenty seconds?

13. And I thought it was gross when I ate 2 1/2 lbs of London broil!
This is so far over-the-top I can't do anything but shake my head. Just think about the fact that this guy consumed the equivalent of 60 normal hamburgers!

14. Those would be great for youth sports banquets
You'd order one per sixteen kids. They'd love it.

Trying to eat it by yourself is a revolting thought.

15. I saw a segment about this place on the Food Channel.
I'm just amazed that they can get it evenly cooked the whole way through.

19. It tastes more like a meatloaf than a burger.
