UEPa SCORES SOME INK

Thanks to Eat Feats for digging this up. The Clearfield Progress newspaper ran a story about Denny's giant burger, including giving plenty of love to the UEPa. Excerpt below. I like how I said "We come here every year." It's sort of true, we were there in 2006 and now in 2007 and we definitely plan to go back!

Ian Hickman of Sterling, Va., was able to break the restaurant's record by consuming a 2-pound hamburger, with a total weight of approximately 5 pounds, in 14 minutes and 45 seconds. The previous record was held by Daryl Teats of Woodland, who consumed a 2-pound burger in 1993 in 15 minutes.

"Denny's is sort of our Mecca," said Dave Schoffner of the United Eaters of Pennsylvania. "We come here every year."

The United Eaters of Pennsylvania is competitive eating club whose members came to Clearfield on Saturday for the event from all over the state, including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, said Mr. Schoffner.

"We've tried other places, but none of them comes close to matching the food and atmosphere of Denny's," said Mr. Schoffner.

Super Sized Meals also highlighted the UEPa's participation in the day's festivities. If that site isn't already on your daily reading list, it damn well should be.
