Donald A. Gorske (born November 28, 1953) of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin is an American world record holder and "Big Mac enthusiast". Don Gorske ate his first Big Mac 39 years ago, to celebrate buying a new car. He is the world record holder and "Big Mac enthusiast". He is best known for having eaten over 25,000 Big Mac hamburgers from the U.S. fast food chain McDonald's in his lifetime, subsequently winning a place in the 2006 Guinness Book of Records. He claims the Big Mac constitutes 90% of his total solid food intake. He is featured in the documentaries Super Size Me (2004) and Don Gorske: Mac Daddy (2005). He is the author of 22,477 Big Macs (2008).
Unlike most people, Don Gorske doesn't express his love for something through a giant collection. He obsesses through consumption. You might recognize Don from the movie Super Size Me, but since then, Don has continued his routine of eating two Big Macs every day for 39 years, keeping a receipt for every one. In fact, he recently enjoyed his 25,000th Big Mac.
