Mario Sadjak, 29, digs into a meal at a Chicago downtown restaurant on April 22, 1971. He put away three dozen oysters sprinkled with clams, six lobsters, a dozen soft-shelled crabs, a sirloin strip steak with three lamb chops, a tureen of soup. With this he had a good portion of asparagus, green beans and artichokes. He topped off the meal with French pastry. He ate all this in one hour and six minutes to win a bet of $1,500.
