Man Eats 15 POUND Burger!
I guess that's what "winners" look like.
In 4 hours, 39 minutes Brad Sciullo, a 5-foot-11 and 180-pound chef from western Pennsylvania, consumed a MAMMOTH burger called the Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser.
Get a load of this before and after. I wonder how many trips to the BATHROOM he made in between.
Actually, Brad's triumph weighed a GRAND total of 20.2 pounds: bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, banana peppers and 1 cup each of mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup and relish.
And the heart disease is FREE!

Oh please. Eating that isn't going to give him heart disease anymore than drinking a gallon of lard followed by a bag of sugar would.
ReplySeveral studies have been done on the effects of one high calorie, high fat meal, and health. Well, sorry to say, but these scientists are not fun people cause in every study, they found that the effects were not too good.
ReplyI'd be curious to know how long those studies lasted. I'm sure that the immediate effects - the first week, even month - wouldn't be too good, but what about the long-term effects? Like, did that single burger take ten years off his life, even if he were to spend the rest of it living off of so-called "superfoods?" I'm just curious.
ReplyGood Lord, I'd like to see his liver after eating something like that. It looks so nasty...1 cup of mayo? My stomach is churning just looking at it.
ReplyWhy would anyone do that?????
ReplyPost work out meal.
ReplyI concur!
Replythat is just plain gross...
ReplyThe only reasons I would eat that thing are because it'd make an interesting story to tell... and because I'm bulimic. :/ Really though, who would make something like that and WHY?
ReplySo, as someone who has been to Denny's Beer Barrel Pub ;) for most of the smaller burgers, you aren't allowed trips to the bathroom, and you get a time limit to try and finish the entire burger without utensils in order to win a prize (I think... the burger is free, and you get a t-shirt?)
This is the first time I've heard of someone polishing of the 15lber single-handedly, however. I'm sharing the news with my friends. :)
Replylooks tasty
ReplyOMG that is so wrong!
Reply(I wanted to know why he did it and this is what he said. And hey, $400 can buy a lot of alka selzer!)
When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, Sciullo said: "I wanted to see if I could."
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.
ReplyAnd we clap and applaud this as if it's an achievement worth aiming for??? Then we try to teach our children about portion control when this kind of stuff gets publicity and the implicit message is that it's cool and hip and makes you pretty powerful if you can consume this much. Yikes!
ReplyDo we teach our children portion control? I always see parents telling their children to "finish your food, children starving in china would want it!"
ReplyI will never understand people who think like Cari does. This picture in no way supports or promotes obesity or over eating. It is a kid eating a burger that normally you would not eat.
Now I could see if this was a promotion for burger kings new daily value meal...ok thats a problem. This kind of thing has been going on for a long time and to me it is interesting to see how far we can push the human body...even if it is eating burgers. A couple of you might want to lighten up a little...you might end up having a stroke before the burger kid does.
Reply^ what he said ^
ReplyI wonder what happened later that day or next morning? How did he feel the next day? I remember being young once. I don't think I ate that much hamburger total my entire life. ugh!
ReplySeriously, no joke, can't that kill someone? I mean immediately, just like an overload of water can. I'm going to venture to guess that he took a long trip to the bathroom to purge AFTER they declared him the winner. But still, how could his stomach and intestines fit all that, even chewed down, before he purged?
I watched on the Food Network once a bunch of college kids trying to stuff down giant ice cream Sundays (the kind made for multiple people; just like this burger) and they all reached points where they physically couldn't continue. Their bodies just STOPPED them at one point, in that they looked at the ice cream and all of a sudden were just like "I can't do anymore" and they were acting extremely sluggish and odd (much like I've read described about water poisoning, to mention that again.) I know one did go to the bathroom to purge. It wasn't funny; it was disturbing.
ReplyI think I feel like throwing up just looking at the guy eat that thing. Wow that is seriously unbelievable. Also think about all the burgers we would have eaten to train to be able to eat one that big. definitely makes me sick...
ReplyThey don't train like that. They eat a lot of salads and drink a lot of water.
ReplyEwww! On the topic of "seeing if he could": I heard of a dare that was made in WWII, apparently between Russian soldiers. The dare was: Who can down a whole bottle of Vodka. There were no prizes. One soldier demonstrated that he could: Downed the entire bottle - and hit the floor dead. Toxic shock.
How's that for winning the Darwin Award!
Replyargggggggg!!!! i cant believe he ate that thang!! or was it just an illusion???
ReplySeriously....that makes me nauseous just looking at the pics. Ack!
ReplyThat is awesome. Who needs to live forever anyways!
Take that cheap ass Lean Cuisine eaters!
ReplyThat's quite an accomplishment, and pretty big news in Clearfield, PA (my hometown and home to Denny's, home of the world's largest burger.)
Not too long ago, just finishing the 6 lb burger was a big deal. Now the clock is ticking until someone eats the 15 pounder faster!
Reply...Ew.
ReplyA cup of mayonaise?
Ew. Ew. Ew.
That's disgusting.
Yucky.
Meat?
What..is..meat?
Isn't that just for rich ppl?
ReplyYou should eat to live , not live to eat . Competitions like this just damages all your body with hard colestrol rates.
ReplyThis has nothing to do with red meat or saturated fat. It is the QUANTITY he ate that is harmful.
RED MEAT DOES NOT CAUSE CAD. Red meat HELPS your heart and is very nutrient dense.
ReplyFor those of you who were impressed you should rent "Cool Hand Luke" and watch Paul Newman eat 50 hard-boiled eggs ~
Replyis that really necessary?..think of all the starving kids in under developed countries..
