PA Man eats 15 lb burger
Congratulations, sir--you're the biggest glutton in a nation full of 'em!

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.

ugh, I saw that this morning
?He did that for $400 and a few t-shirts??
Wow...
This reminds me of John Candy in The Great Outdoors where he eats that HUGE Sirloin steak (the 79er or something?) and wins a free dinner for the family. Remember that?!

I think back when that skinny guy won that hot dog contest, I had heard that it's easier for skinny people b/c they have more room for their stomach to stretch. With fatter people, they have a wall of fat and extra weight that blocks the stomach from stretching as much.
