Wisconsin man eats his 20,000th McDonald's Big Mac

It was love at first bite back in 1972 when Don Gorske of Fond du Lac ate his first Big Mac.

On Monday, he ate his 20,000th McDonald’s Big Mac and still relishes every mouthful.

Gorske, who has gained nationwide fame through his daily habit of stopping for a couple of Big Macs and keeping count, was surrounded by about 200 fans and curiosity seekers, and had microphones and camera lenses stuck in his face as he reached a McMilestone in his unusual avocation.

Gorske handed out red lapel buttons and McDonald coupons as he greeted guests before helping cut a green ribbon signaling the rededication of the West Johnson Street McDonald’s store and then settling down to a Big Mac washed down with Coca-Cola.

“It usually takes 16 bites to finish a Big Mac,” he said, “and no, you cannot have the carton (containing the celebrated sandwich) because it’s not for sale. You can’t buy it from me.”

The McTransplant will be be followed up by a McQuadrupleBypass later in the month.
