Pa. man chews through belly-busting, 15-lb. burger

Thu Oct 16, 6:06 PM ET

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.

I have always wanted to try and eat a huge burger r steak like this b/c I think I could do it. People are amazed at the amount of food I can chow down hehe, and always get mad b/c I am not a lard ass I think I could do it. While I was attending Akron I was bet once I couldn't eat 20 cheeseburgers in 2 hours. easiest $80 I ever earned I felt like complete crap the next day but the 4 $20's in my wallet cured that!

Absolutely sickening... Yet oddly enticing. You ever try a Five Guys hamburger?

I used to eat like that back in the day. Wouldn't even come close now. I swear a wedding band cuts off circulation to your metabolism.

I don't know what Five Guys even is. Are the huge?

I really wish In And Out Burger was available here in Ohio.

Steakhouse Chef: We call it Sir Loin-A-Lot. It's as big as a boogie board.

Homer Simpson: I'll have that. And to drink...meatballs.

There is one within about 1000 ft. of where I work in Avon. I will myself out of the temptation to hit that place on any given day, or I would be addicted and turn into a tub-a-lub.

That thing is bigger than he is...seesh....::shakes head::

Lee, if you ever see a Five Guys, you must stop. By far the best burger I've had from a chain style restaurant. "Normal" burgers are actually doubles and the "small" (or whatever they call them) are the single burgers. Also, the fries are fresh cut and cooked in peanut oil.

Speaking of delicious burgers, I'll be in Cinci in March in the vicinity of the Duke Energy Center. If anyone is familiar with that area, is there a Skyline Chili within walking distance?

That reminds me of a joke:

Wedding Cake

And people wonder why our kids are overweight.....This is what they see & hear about, ....Bye this I'm looking at the whole picture, people doing this type of things all over, eating contests on ESPN, add that to play stations and bingo..

Holy smokes, that guy is from the town I was born in, Uniontown PA.. Cool

Man, I'm getting quezzie just thinking about eating that thing.. that would make me hurl for sure..

Double patties, anything you want on them for no extra price... Greatest hamburger I've ever had. I even became sort of a mascot when they first opened in my hometown, they even gave me a couple of t-shirts after I wound up bringing like 30 people for their "first time".

Fairly expensive though, it varies from $4.29 up.

Is this down in Fla? If I come down this December I must try it out.

There's a couple of places in Florida, follow the link and see if there are any nearby where you'd be staying: Five Guys locations

That thing would go good with a dozen pounds of fries and a case of beer

Using that link Lee, you can find the locations in Ohio. It appears they are in Avon, Boardman, Fairlawn (coming soon), Fairview Park, and Strongsville.

Not sure where Duke Energy Center is in Cincy. But: Skyline Locator

I would imagine that there is one somewhat near there though. There are a TON of Skyline's in Cincy.

That burger is ridiculous!!!!

Biggest burger I've seen was at Thurman's Cafe when they ran a special offering a Double Thurman Burger. It was huge---like 1.5 pounds of ground beef, and like a quarter-pound of ham.

Dude I don't even know where the hell she lives in Florida I believe by Orlando or something (Avon Park is where she lives)

Maybe I'll trek down 77 to Fairlawn and try one out sometime. Then on my way back take RT 8 and stop by Swenson's! Kind of my own "Harold and Kumar" adventure hehe

Avon Park is close to Orlando, but not close enough for a hamburger.

If you wind up heading to the parks though, it'd be a great stop. There's one on I-Drive, like 15 minutes or so away from the parks... I mean it's better then paying ~$10 for a hot dog at Disney.

You guys have Swensons up there?! Didn't last down here, but they were the best.

That's where we will deff be heading when we eventually make it down there (Disney). I am all about getting a hotel too b/c a week or so trapped with my Mother-in-law I might end up going insane

Swensons is real big around the Akron area, but I believe there is only one up my way. I love that place! Double galley boy with a cherry shake,,nutin like it!! Plus me not having to get out of my car I love is an added bonus That and I'm lazy hehe.

Dude, stop with the galley boy....I haven't had dinner yet.

That's the thing though, I'm not familiar with Cinci at all though so I was hoping someone like ONB would stumble on the thread or something. I'll have to find out where the Energy Center is and start doing some mapquest searches

Heart attack on a plate.

Got one five minutes from my place. The hardest part is staying away. Gots to be the best fast food burger ever. Good fries too.

This thread makes me want Swenson's.

Odd...me too.

-goes to freezer to thaw out ground beef-

Me too!

Bastages!

When I went out to Arizona for the National Championship game a few years back, before I left the news did a story on Troy Smith eating all the time at In and Out Burger. He was raving about their food, so the one thing I had to try was In and Out. Shotty and I kept getting lost everywhere we tried to go in Phoenix (it's amazing we found the stadium) and it was funny b/c I was talking to DP017 on the phone when all the sudden I saw the sign on the side of the freeway and I got all happy! About an hour before this we got lost in some gang infested neighborhood surrounded by pissed of hispanics trying to find In and Out Burger lol, so when we finally did it was pure bliss! So good we went back later that night and I ate 2 or 3 more burgers lol.
Check it out:

Too much lettuce.

lol dude, I remember talking to you on the phone as you found it. Well saw the sign at least. We never got out there at all since we didn't have a car. We hung out in the parking lot of our hotel since these people basically tailgated 24/7 out there in this kick ass OSU semi with a trailer toting this nice custom chopper.

I know when I got home I sent them an e-mail asking if they will ever come to Ohio hehe. Thats how impressed I was with their grub
The thing I like is everything is delivered fresh each day and they cut all the veggies and make the burgers fresh each day. you can taste the difference for sure.
