The origins of Paul Bunyan are still unknown but the odds are someone in a lumber camp around the Great Lakes came up with this piece of folklore.

This picture above really gives you the beastie size of this breakfast. If you think you can pull off eating this bad boy breakfast, Elly's is at 174 W Weidman Rd. Weidman, Michigan, near Mt. Pleasant. If you can eat this in under an hour, you get the $16 breakfast for free, they will give you a sweet t-shirt, and then add you to the wall of fame that now only has 2 people on it.
