The world's biggest Wimpy fan is munching his way through all 64 of the chain's UK eateries as part of an epic 2,400 mile tour - in just 31 days.<br /><br />Nostalgic Anthony Zupnik, 36, has been obsessed with the old-school burger joints for more than 30 years after falling in love with them as a child.<br /><br />He believes he may have devoured up to 1,000 Wimpy meals in his lifetime and mainly orders the same dish of a burger with ketchup and onions and a side of fries.<br /><br />And on one day, he visited five different branches of Wimpy as part of a supersized charity mission to eat at all their outlets across England and Scotland during July.<br /><br />Software developer Anthony said: “I’ve been a huge fan of Wimpy basically since birth... This tour is the proof, but I think I have been Wimpy's biggest fan for years. <br /><br />"Every owner is enthusiastic about the brand, and they give you the time of day, and that’s what you don’t get at other fast food brands - you get no personalisation.<br /><br />"Since I was a kid I’ve always had a hamburger with ketchup and onions. I’ve upgraded my burger size to a quarter-pounder... but the order is exactly the same. <br /><br />"That whole ritual I have is very enjoyable and satisfying.”<br /><br />Anthony's love for the chain came from his godmother who ran its branch in Littlehampton, West Sussex, during the 70s and 80s where he grew up.<br /><br />And he particularly admires the familiarity of its flavours and how diners can eat with a knife and fork at the chain, founded in 1934 in Bloomington, Indiana, USA.<br /><br />But sadly, in 2010, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer aged just 22 and was later treated at a unit run by the charity the Teenage Cancer Trust.<br /><br />After coming through the health scare and completing a degree in physics, he now hopes to raise money for the charity his fondness for Wimpy restaurants.<br /><br />He added: “I had this idea for a while that I’d like to go and visit all the Wimpies in the country, but it seemed very gratuitous to do it without a reason.<br /><br />"So I decided I could marry up this dream I’ve always had with a fundraiser for the Teenage Cancer Trust.<br /><br />“To this day, I try to eat at Wimpy as often as I can, something which I am well known for amongst my friends and family. <br /><br />“I enjoy the satisfaction of their familiarity, tasty food options, and the civilised manner of eating with a knife and fork.”<br /><br />Anthony, from Leeds, West Yorks., began his quest on July 1 at his local Wimpy in Huddersfield.<br /><br />But he plans to travel as far north as Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire and as far south as Swanage, Dorset, in his bid to sample food at all 64 restaurants.<br /><br />However, it is not an eating challenge and on many visits he’ll just be having a drink or light meal. <br /><br />But having always ordered the same meal at Wimpy, he is planning to broaden his horizons on the tour by trying other items.<br /><br />He added: “As part of my quest, I'll try everything I possibly can on the menu to find out once and for all if my simple order is the bee’s knees.
