FOOD-mad bouncer Andy Witt guzzled a 59-item English breakfast to become the new champion of a café challenge.
The 40-year-old from Bournemouth ate 10 rashers of bacon, 10 sausages, 10 eggs, 10 black puddings – and much more.
He beat the previous record of 43 items, held by ‘Rob the Dog’, and has got his photo on the café wall.
The contest has been running for six years on Sunday at Mr G’s in Springbourne.
Andy, who is 6foot 6ins tall and weighs 17 stone, said: “I would have eaten more but they were closing.
“I was going for 45 but then I thought: ‘What the hell’ and carried on.”
Andy, who lives in Charminster, had been working the clubs until 6am, including The Loft in Christchurch.
He ate for 30-40 minutes and “felt fine” – and said has no worries about the health effects of his feast.
“I find it really hard to put weight on.
“I was really skinny as a kid.”
His favourites were the bacon and egg – and he gave the cereal option a miss.
Challengers pay £6.50 and get the biggest set breakfast then request extras – and pay for any they don’t finish.
Café owner Michael Guthrie, 46, said: “I was very surprised he ate so much.
“He could have carried on.
“I think the chances of somebody breaking his record are very slim.”
Andy lives on one or two huge portions a day.
He said: “On Saturday night I ate a whole dish of lasagne then for pudding I had a litre of ice cream.”
Colleague Steve McKee from Charminster-based Azon Security said: “He is always eating. He’ll bring in a big lunch of chicken and rice and polish it off in five minutes.”
As a young man, Andy ate three Christmas dinners in one day – and he has passed on his hungry genes.
His daughter Kaana, eight, eats the cafe’s large full English and is still hungry afterwards.
