This Dude That Ate A 20-Pound Cheeseburger Is My New Hero

By Ryan Corazza

Friday morning anecdote time: One time, in the fall of 2006 back in college, I attempted something so insane, so crazy, so tubular, I’m sure I would have won an award for Wildest Dude Ever, if such an award existed. (However, this award does exist … in my mind. I am its winner, three years running.)

You see: I had a Quad Stacker challenge at Burger King with my friends. The burgers looked like this:

I succumbed to the might of the meat at about 2 1/10 burgers. My friend made three, and was crowned champion. Later he feasted on turkey legs and mead, and was adorned with a crown made of silver and gold. I reveled in his mastery of the burger.

But friends, there is someone I have learned about this morning who I have an even greater admiration and respect for in this world. His name is Brad Sciullo and he wolfed down this 20-pound burger in four hours, 39 minutes:

Wha-bam. I’ll let Chris Mottram of the Sporting Blog explain all the gory details:

The burger itself was 15 pounds of meat, plus five pounds of toppings. Let’s run some of the numbers here. That’s about 550 grams of fat, 200 grams of saturated fat, over 10,000 calories, and 4100 milligrams of cholesterol (about 15 times what your daily intake should be). And that’s just in the meat alone. This bad boy also had an unknown amount of cheese on it (based on the photo above, it was a lot), plus an entire cup of mayo. I’m no nutritionist, but that’s a recipe for intestinal disaster.

If you could hear the sound I was making through your computer screens now, it would be one of clapping.
