Where else but in Texas, the state where big — really BIG — is honored, celebrated, and rewarded.
Texas Monthly has published an account of an eating competition that proves beyond a doubt that looks can be deceiving. Molly Schuyler, a 120-pound mother of four, is, as Texas Monthly notes, “among the top female competitors in what’s largely a man’s game.” That game is competitive eating. And what Molly just devoured puts her in a top category all by herself after a logic-defying feat that raises the question of “whether she’s the world’s greatest competitive eater.”
In record time this past weekend, Molly Schuyler wowed her rivals and the amazed onlookers at the Big Texan Streak Ranch in Amarillo by downing three massive meals, each spread consisting of a 72-ounce porterhouse steak, baked potato, shrimp cocktail, salad, and roll. And she packed away all that grub in a combined 20 minutes, Plus Molly, on her own, was competing not against other individuals, but against four two-person teams made up of football players and professional wrestlers.
An owner of the restaurant where Molly made history on Sunday told Amarillo Globe News that the Nebraska native took home the $1,000 prize for eating some 15 pounds of food far faster than the teams against which she was competing.
“’We’ve seen a lot of things come through these doors but Molly … she takes the cake … she takes lots and lots of cake,’ said a joking Bobby Lee, Big Texan co-owner.”
For Molly Schuyler, this kind of money-making performance is reportedly nothing new. “In January 2014, she downed a record 363 wings in 30 minutes at a competition in Philadelphia and earned $22,000.”
