I just saw a man from Pennsylvania that ate a 15lb burger in only 4hrs 39 minutes. Brad Sciullo the only man to ever finish this massive burger. It is actually over 20lbs when you include the buns and other toppings on it.
This wasn't exactly a competitive eating contest, but it does demonstrate that ordinary people that push themselves could be entering this great sport with some ease. That's what it's all about. You could start tomorrow and be the champ. Brad Sciullo maybe looking to get into the profession of competitive eating.
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.
