Man Still Hungry After Eating Record 30,000th Big Mac
By Linda Massarella
5/6/18
A Wisconsin man who already holds the Guinness World Record for eating the most Big Macs just chowed down on his 30,000th combo of two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
Don Gorske, 64, told The Post on Sunday that he has been eating two McDonald’s Big Macs every day for the past 46 years – and the only thing he wants to do in retirement is shove even more of them into his mouth.
“I love the patties, I love the sauce, I can’t get enough of it,” Gorske, 64, said two days after eating his 30,000th Big Mac at a local McDonald’s near his Fond du Lac, Wisc. home.
“I’m trying to get to 40,000, and that’ll take me another 14 years,” said the retired prison guard.
Gorske – famously featured in the 2004 documentary “Super Size Me” because of his obsession with the 563-calorie, fat-laden sandwiches – insisted that his health is great.
“I’m healthy as a horse. I weigh 190 pounds, and my cholesterol is 165,” he said. “I’m better than normal.”
Gorske said he has eaten at least one Big Mac almost every day since May 17, 1972, and has kept the receipts to prove it. He made the Guinness World Records in 2016, after eating 28,788.
He says he purchases six Big Macs on Monday, eats two on the spot and puts the rest in the refrigerator at home.
“I don’t freeze them, I just put them in the fridge and take them out when I want one. I microwave them, I like them like that,” Gorske said.
On Thursday, he buys eight and goes through the process again.
Gorske said he does not get any special incentives from McDonald’s and pays the same price for his burgers as everyone else.
“I don’t feel they owe me anything,” he said, adding that the owner of his local franchise is a “super nice guy trying to make a living.”
He said the burgers make up about 90 percent of his diet.
He also consumes at least one McDonald’s Fruit N’ Yogurt parfait a day.
“My wife was at me to eat more fruits and vegetables, and the parfaits at my local store are only $1,” he said.
Gorske said he “can’t remember” the last time he ate an apple or a banana.
“Last year, I had some corn,” he said.
Over the past 44 years, Gorske has only gone eight days in total without consuming a Big Mac.
And on those days, it was because he had to do double shifts at his former job at Waupon Prison and couldn’t get out the door.
“You can’t take Big Macs in front of the inmates,” he said.
Gorske, who has thousands of Big Mac cartons in his home, said several people have suggested he suffers from a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
But “it’s not a disorder at all,” he said. “Eating Big Macs doesn’t affect me as far as my health goes. Eating Big Macs is what I love.”
* iPic Theaters- Thank You Teachers.
If I’m reading this one correctly, tomorrow (Tuesday, May 8th)- active teachers with (ID) receive a free ticket at the box-office!
Now, you guys and I know that we got a ton of retired teachers living here in Florida…
Now the question to be answered, do retired teachers who present an ID get a ticket? It would seem to me, that retired teachers don’t qualify- but then again, a well spun story- may work at the box-office!

Jeff Eats is gonna make this tale real short and sweet…Clary’s Corner Cafe in Lake Worth is right up there with the best “mom & pop” breakfast/lunch joints that I’ve eaten in here in Florida and elsewhere!
This joint was so good, that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate breakfast there on Tuesday (1/17/17) and returned on Wednesday (1/18/17) for lunch!
Clary’s Corner Cafe is located in a residential hi-rise (Lake Worth Towers), you’ll find Clary’s by walking through a red-door at the building’s address- it’s cash only- counter/table/booth seating- and the joint makes some of the most reasonably priced delicious breakfast/lunch stuff that you’ve ever eaten! In addition to its “everyday” menu- Clary’s runs daily breakfast and lunch specials! The joint is closed Sunday & Monday and is open Tuesday-Friday 8am-2pm and Saturday 8am-1pm.
Like Jeff Eats said about 6 seconds ago, Clary’s Corner Cafe is right up there with the best “mom & pop” breakfast/lunch joints that I’ve eaten in here in Florida and elsewhere!

***** Great Value Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies.
If you like Chocolate Chip Cookies- the bet here is that you’ll like Walmart’s “house brand” Great Value Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Yesterday, the pictured package cost Jeff Eats $2.50 at- the Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484.
Now, for sure these cookies ain’t playing in Mrs. Fields or David’s Cookies’ league- but at $.05681 a cookie, Great Value Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies are a whole lot better than a kick in the teeth!
Like I said 3-seconds ago…If you like Chocolate Chip Cookies- the bet here is that you’ll like Walmart’s “house brand” Great Value Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies!- I’m in!

***** Galuppi’s, 1103 N. Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Florida 33062 (954) 785-0226.
Last night, I had an absolutely terrific time at a joint named Galuppi’s in Pompano Beach. Just so you know, Galuppi’s which calls itself “Galuppi’s Restaurant, Patio Bar & Banquets” is actually located on the public Pompano Beach Golf Course… the view from its out-door patio of the course is absolutely amazing.
Galuppi’s is basically a restaurant/catering facility. There is a small indoor restaurant that has a large sit-at-bar, 4 booths and maybe a half-dozen hi-tops…outside, there is another sit-at-bar and loads of tables…there is also a banquet room attached to the restaurant that can be used for private parties or for restaurant customers. Now, to put this whole layout in perspective…go to Galuppi’s website at www.galuppis.com where you will find actual pictures of what I have been blabbing about, along with menu/prices/and other details.
Last night, Galuppi’s which does lunch and dinner 7 days a week and brunch on Sunday had The Beatles’ tribute band “Anthology” performing from 8pm-midnight. Suffice it to say, this joint was absolutely packed… the restaurant-the banquet room-the outside bar/patio…the band was on a small stage on the patio and I’ll bet you that from 8:30pm-10:30 pm (time I was there) there were at least 500-600 people maybe even more, eating…drinking…dancing. I am telling you, it was an absolutely great “party.” By the way, there was no cover charge or minimum…so for the price of a meal or a drink…or for that matter, just walking in…got you into this “concert.”
Just a quick note, “Anthology” was terrific. They were dressed in replicas of The Beatle’s Shea Stadium army-uniforms and had the requisite Beatle haircuts…they did some great covers of The Beatles’ hits. The group is extremely personable and their interaction with the crowd had the joint really jumping. Their faux British accents which came and went all evening long, added to the fun…and yes, they even have a left-handed bass player. You can check “Anthology” out at www.myspace.com/fab4anthology. I guarantee that based on last night’s action, Galuppi’s owners will have “Anthology” back for another gig in the very near future.
I already gave you this joint’s website…take a look at its menu. There are plenty of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts to keep everyone busy…By the way, the prices are very reasonable and last night our waitress Bobbi-Lynn was absolutely terrific despite the fact that the joint was absolutely packed (and I do mean packed). Last night I had babyback ribs, I also sampled the crab-cakes, snapper francaise and steak kabobs. The food is decent. Personally I would put it about “1-notch” above the stuff you get in your typical neighborhood sports bar. Just so you know, Galuppi’s also has tons of flat screen tv sets inside and outside…Last night every set was tuned to the Olympic Games, so if “The Beatles” weren’t your game, you could scream for the American swimmers.
One thing that I found interesting…the banquet room has sound-proof glass. Amazingly, while eating in the room, you couldn’t hear the out-door crowd or the band at all.
Galuppi’s is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week and for brunch on Sunday. According to its website, the joint has all kinds of entertainment and “specials”…so If you want to try Galuppi’s, I would suggest that you ”call ahead” to find out “what’s on tap” (pun intended).
