Man eats 15-pound burger in less than 5 hours

Brad Sciullo is a 21 year-old 5-foot-11, 180-pound chef from western Pennsylvania.

Sciullo is the first person to eat a monstrosity called the Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser -- the product of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in western Pennsylvania. It is a 15-pound burger with toppings and a bun that brought the total weight to 20.2 pounds.

The burger included a bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish.

What did Sciullo get for his 4 hour and 39 minute eating marathon?

For completing the challenge in the under-five-hour time limit, Sciullo won $400, three T-shirts, a certificate and a “burger hangover.”
