It Could Be Worse. It Could've Been 20 lbs. of Pork.
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.
They use to say American had streets of gold and other embarrassments of riches. That was then. Now, they just gawk at us for being the geeks in the capitalist carnival of wretched excess that we are.
I just hope no one in a country where they eat to live is on the Internet today, reading about life in our country, where we live to eat. We've got enough enemies.

FYI: the maximum capacity of the human stomach is about two quarts (a little less in liters for my fellow metric measurers). There's no accurate conversion of big-ass hamburger pounds into quarts, but it's safe to assume that 20.2 lbs. is a lot more than 2 quarts. So, either this dude has a couple extra stomachs, Klingon style, or the tail end of his GI tract is roomier than Lincoln Towncar.
As an upstanding citizen, you should alert US Customs and Border officials. I mean, this guy mule half of Columbia's powdery finest and a family of illegal aliens. Though, I'd tell them to hold him for at least a week before trying a cavity search...
