The UK's ultimate Wimpy superfan is on a mammoth mission to chomp his way through every single one of the chain's 64 restaurants.

Burger-mad Anthony Zupnik, 36, has been hooked on the retro fast-food chain for over three decades, having developed a taste for their grub as a nipper.

He reckons he's polished off around 1,000 Wimpy meals during his lifetime, usually sticking to his tried-and-tested order of a burger slathered in ketchup and onions with a side of chips.

In a single day, Anthony hit up five Wimpy branches, all part of his mega charity challenge to visit every Wimpy joint in England and Scotland throughout July in a whirlwind 2,400-mile tour that'll take just 31 days.

Software whizz 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.

"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.

"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.

"That whole ritual I have is very enjoyable and satisfying."

Anthony's fondness for Wimpy stems from his godmother who managed their Littlehampton outlet in West Sussex back in the 70s and 80s, where he spent his childhood.

He's also a big fan of the classic taste and the fact that you can tuck into your meal with a knife and fork at Wimpy, which first popped up in 1934 in Bloomington, Indiana, USA.

Tragically, in 2010, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the tender age of 22 and subsequently received treatment at a unit operated by the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Having survived his health ordeal and earned a degree in physics, he now plans to raise funds for the charity through his love for Wimpy restaurants.

He said: "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.

"So I decided I could marry up this dream I've always had with a fundraiser for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

"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.

"I enjoy the satisfaction of their familiarity, tasty food options, and the civilised manner of eating with a knife and fork."

Anthony from Leeds, West Yorks, embarked on his mission on July 1.

However, his journey will take him as far north as Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire and as far south as Swanage, Dorset, in his quest to sample fare at all 64 eateries.

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."
