Man finishes 15-pound burger plus toppings
CLEARFIELD, Pa. (AP) — 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 — include 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.
Liegey's pub in Clearfield — a town about 100 miles northeast of
Pittsburgh — has become known over the years for its massive burgers.
Sciullo, 21, ate his 20.2-pound sandwich Monday and said he was
surprised he succeeded. He realized when he had gotten through half
the burger in a half-hour that he had plenty of time to finish it up.
"About three hours into it, things got tough," Sciullo said. "It's
exhausting. I chewed for five straight hours. I didn't talk."
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.
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.

I've been to Uniontown. I find this not at all surprising.
