Man To Spend 24 Consecutive Hours In White Castle Restaurant

On Saturday, January 15, 2011, comedy writer Bayan Rabbani will spend 24 consecutive hours inside a White Castle restaurant, attempting to go “Around the World” by eating one of everything on the White Castle menu.

Louisville, KY, January 14, 2011 -- On Saturday, January 15, 2011, comedy writer Bayan Rabbani will spend 24 consecutive hours inside a White Castle restaurant, attempting to go “Around the World” by eating one of everything on the White Castle menu. He will tweet and photograph this groundbreaking experiment on the popular comedy website ZUG.com.

Rabbani is famous for his 24-hour endurance tests in popular retail chains like Walmart, Starbucks, and the Apple store. Media outlets across the globe have picked up on his hilarious experiments, after seeing them explode across the Internet.

Now the comedian is taking his act to one of the largest White Castle restaurants in America: the flagship restaurant in Louisville, KY. “I love fast food,” says Rabbani, “so I feel like I’ve been training for this one all my life. This is my chance to storm the Castle.”

As with previous stunts, Rabbani will broadcast an ongoing stream of comments and photos via his Twitter page, interacting with fans and even taking their suggestions on what to try next. Among other stunts, Rabbani plans to build a “Wild Kingdom Slider” by layering chicken, beef, fish, and pork sandwiches.

Rabbani does not plan to sleep during the 24 hour White Castle marathon, though he may fitfully doze off on a pile of fries.
The details of Rabbani’s groundbreaking, and possibly stomach-breaking, experiment will be published on the humor website ZUG.com, known for its stunts and real-life comedy experiments. “Bayan is a truly original comedian who’s able to mix these incredible feats of human endurance with a fresh comedy perspective,” says editor-in-chief Sir John Hargrave. “And for a day, he’s truly going to be king of the Castle.”
