Man Eats 15-Pound Burger, Surprisingly Doesn't Explode, Wins $400

Posted by Robyn Lee, October 20, 2008 at 1:45 PM

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, started offering a 15-pound burger (actually 20.2 pounds with the bun and toppings) three years ago, but only now has one person successfully finished the whole thing. 21-year old chef Brad Sciullo finished the burger in 4 hours and 39 minutes, although he notes that, "About three hours into it, things got tough." For finishing the burger in under five hours, he won $400, three t-shirts, and a certificate. [Tip o' the hat to: Matthew M.]
