(10-16) 15:06 PDT Clearfield, Pa. (AP) --

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.

2. It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer

squares off against Red the Trucker in devouring a huge steak. Red wins and winds up dead at the chair.

Next, he should find a brick wall and run into it headfirst at full speed, just to "see if he could".

And then maybe find a container of bleach and drink it down, because that would also be an achievement.

3. I hope he drank a diet coke with that.

And I shudder to think what he'd do for a Klondike bar.

7. You know, when I say I'm hungry enough to eat one of these, I'm joking.

Goddamn, that poor bastard's going to have one hell of a shit once his body finishes processing that...assuming it even can.

8. New rule: Your cheeseburger cant be bigger than your ass.
