EASTLAKE, Ohio — A Cleveland man will forever hold the distinction of taming Moby Dick, the sandwich that is.

Craig Deas with the Lake County Captains tells Fox 8 News that this past weekend, someone was finally able to eat a Moby Dick sandwich in its entirety in under an hour.

Brett Meyer of Cleveland accomplished the amazing feet on Saturday, June 16th during the Captains game versus the Dayton Dragons.

The Captains unveiled the whale of a sandwich in March. The sandwich consists of a 15-inch sesame seed hoagie roll, five quarter-pound fish filets, eight slices of cheese, six ounces of clam strips, one-third pound of French fries, one cup of cole slaw, all topped off by gobs of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and tartar sauce.

The over three pound behemoth is a combined 4000 calories and packs 200 grams of fat.

The price for this mini-monstrosity, only $20.

Meyer is the first of over 20 contestants to complete the Moby Dick Challenge.

Any fan that can consume a single Moby Dick sandwich in less than an hour, by themselves, will receive a commemorative t-shirt and have their photo placed on the Champion Eaters bulletin board at Classic Park.
