Meet the Man Who Ate 35,000 Big MacsⓇ—The Ultimate Burger King! 🍔 In a world full of foodies and fad diets, there’s Donald Gorske, the Wisconsin legend who’s turned his love for McDonald's iconic Big MacⓇ into a jaw-dropping world record. Since May 17, 1972, Donald has been devouring these double-decker delights almost daily, reaching an incredible milestone: his 35,000th burger on March 15.
What started as a quirky obsession when he bought his first car has become a lifelong passion—and a spot in the Guinness World Records!
Donald, who eats two Big MacsⓇ a day, has saved every burger carton, receipt, and even meticulously logs his daily consumption on a wall calendar. He’s proud of his massive McDonald's memorabilia collection (or as he calls it, “McMemorabilia”), which overflows from a dedicated room in his house. While it might sound like a recipe for disaster, Donald’s health is surprisingly good.
His wife Mary, who he proposed to at a McDonald’s, swears his blood sugar and cholesterol levels are normal. Maybe it’s his six-mile daily walks, or maybe it’s just sheer determination and a fast metabolism!
When asked about his record, Donald is both humbled and amused. “This isn’t just a one-day record; it’s an everyday commitment,” he says. “I might just be the only person who can eat Big MacsⓇ daily without any ill effects.”
He jokes that his sons will someday mark his final Big MacⓇ, proving he truly went out with his favorite meal in hand. And if McDonald’s ever stopped making the Big MacⓇ? He’s got a backup plan—stockpiling extras in the freezer!
For Donald, no other burger will ever compare. Even after trying a WhopperⓇ and another burger in 1984, he’s stayed loyal to his Big MacⓇs. His advice to aspiring record-breakers? A simple “Don’t.”
