Thanks to our award-winning photojournalist Brooke Wolfe, along with a video we have the entire burger-eating fiasco documented in photos. Here is a sampling of a few of the more than 300 pics she took in the 30-minute event. I can’t blame her, though. I look so darn handsome eating my face off!!!

Coach Gordon gets it on film. Ever the supporter, Gordon may have saved the challenge for me with his decision to make me eat a light breakfast earlier in the day.
RV rubs the golden belly to make more room for the stretch run.
RV dances a jig as I turn the corner on the last patty.
I think I scared Chelsea all the way back to Pittsburgh!
And finally, the agony of defeat…

Jon – have to say my son has always wanted to do this and you may now be his hero. Congrats but man that looks painful. Love the helmet.

The helmet is hilarious. I had seen the other picture in the past and thought of it instantly when I saw you wearing one like it, laughing heartily.
I wonder if I could handle that challenge? At 6′7″ 310 I have been known to consume large quantities of food in one sitting. I might have to try it one day.
Congrats on a job “well done.”
PS – Thanks for the tour the other day. It was a just what we needed for that requirement!

You can do it, JoeJon! You’ll devour that cheeseburger!
It’s really not terrible. It’s just a lot of food. You get tired of eating and your head hurts.
Let me know if you want to try it. I want to see it!

Man, I’m proud of you. I can hardly see what I’m typing through the tears welling up in my eyes.
