On 29th May, 2004 James made an 8500 calorie sandwich and five months later this sandwich inspired Derian, which led him crazy to break all records with a 30,000 calorie sandwich.
Thanks to Boing Boing that he dug this secret crime of Derian a year later.
Boing Boing might have put it as a record breaker in high calorie sandwich and indeed it is, and deserves to go to the Guinness Book of World Records.
This year the recognition of this sandwich would be a sacred scandal as it would be encouraging obesity epidemic. Derian might not have gorged in the sandwich in a single day but, 30,000 calories is heart breaking. Taste buds would go numb eating a quarter pound of ham, bacon, turkey, pastrami, and beef along with a dozen variety of cheese, chucked in a liter of oil. Indulging in such high calorie food would be inviting a bevy of diseases. Even if the $47, sandwich will go for the benefit of poor students, I doubt if anyone will buy it, except for breaking it down into 30 sandwiches of 1000 calories each.
