100 pound college girl eats 11-pound burger
CLEARFIELD - A 100-pound female college student is the first to meet the Denny's Beer Barrel Pub challenge: down the restaurant's 6-pound hamburger - and 5 pounds of fixings - within three hours.
Kate Stelnick, 19, of Princeton, N.J., made the five-hour drive with two friends from The College of New Jersey on Wednesday, after they saw pictures of the monster burger, dubbed the Ye Old 96er, on the Internet and on TV's Food Network.
"I just saw it on TV, and I really thought I could do it," Stelnick said, after downing the burger in two hours, 54 minutes.
Look, I've been known to be able to down a double quarter pounder, fries, and another cheesburger, but holy shit -
Eleven pounds total! And I'm 210 pounds. This chick is not even
half my weight!
The burger takes 45 minutes to cook, and those who try to meet the three-hour limit must use no utensils and eat all of these fixins: one large onion, two whole tomatoes, one half head of lettuce, 11/4 pounds of cheese, top and bottom buns, and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, banana peppers and some pickles.
Stelnick got a certificate, a T-shirt and other prizes, and Leigey picked up the $23.95 tab for the burger.
When asked for a comment Michael Moore just smiled and said "Amateur."
Update
Wizbang has photos of the beast. And of the burger too...
