Biggest Loser's Little Secret

Rulon Burger Poster Boy
Rulon Gardner won the Olympic Gold Medal for Greco-Roman Wrestling in 1980. Since then, Rulon has been "living large!" Actually he has gained more than 200 pounds.
 Now, at 474 pounds, 39 year old Roulon is on the "Biggest Loser" NBC TV show.

I'm not sure if it's a secret or not - I never watch this show - watching people lose weight doesn't "do it" for me - but Roulon owns a restaurant in Afton, Wyoming. He calls it Rulon's Burger Barn.

The featured item on the menu is the 1.5 pound Rulon Burger. It's so big that it is molded in a a pizza tin! (Think of six quarter pounders at McDonalds.)

Gardner's challenge to all comers: Finish the burger plus a basket of fries and a 44-ounce drink in 20 minutes. He claims to have done this in 8 minutes, 23 seconds!

Such skill will surely get you on "Biggest Loser!"
