Holy crap!

Brad Sciullo, 21, took down this 20-pound cheeseburger this week in under five hours.

The 5-11, 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. "About three hours into it, things got tough," he said. Ya think?

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.

All he got for it was $400, three T-shirts and a certificate.

And I'll bet a nice seat in front of and on his toilet.
