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.

Maybe he took shit breaks during his meal to make room?

I'm amazed this is physically possible. I wonder what the risk of death is from trying something like this.

Was he allowed to take bathroom breaks? If not, wow.

I can't tell if it's just the perspective of the picture or if that hamburger is really five times the size of his head.

bish gets all the credit :)
Look at the guy's shirt ("I survived the Italian ..."). It's obvious he's not a beginner at eating large portions of food.

I can't imagine that one pound burger times 15 being in my stomach.

Actually... and I'm unsure of the details, but I heard that thinner people are often CAPABLE of eating more, basically because fat makes the stomach less flexible. That's why you see a lot of competitive eaters either really big (larger size can make up for excess weight) or small, like Kobayashi.
