TampaBay.com has an interview with Molly Schuyler about her victory Thursday in the Taco Bus El Jefe Burrito eating contest. Before winning the $2,500 prize, she won $500 for finishing the Inferno Soup challenge at Nitally's, which she calls the worst experience of her competitive eating career. The article gives the source of the contest information as eatsfeats.com [sic] (the actual link works)

    “How long is it before you eat again after a competition like the one in Tampa?

    We went out to eat right after that. That burrito is 2.5 pounds. That’s the smallest challenge burrito I’ve ever had. I’m used to 5 pounds or bigger.”

    Love it:

    “How’d you get into this? Did you have natural ability?

    I did. I was working as a bartender in the midwest about five years ago, making crummy pay, and someone bet me I couldn’t eat this big sandwich at a local restaurant. I finally just went in and did it. It made the local paper. There were maybe half a dozen food challenges in my local area, and I burned through all those, and started driving a couple hours away to Kansas City to do those. I started making money, and from there it just snowballed so quickly and became my job. I always knew I could eat the most, but in my personal life I actually eat pretty slow.”

    Last year’s contest: http://eatfeats.com/query.php?_table=contests&id=35587 and contest video by Michael Jenkins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yzVTwAwvro

    Last year Michael did the burrito in 2:22 and this year Molly cut it to 1 minute. Crazy.

    Losing by 2 seconds to Molly means he is a great eater. No one cares about bad breath unless you are going to kiss the person.

    Talk to her husband he seems to be ok with letting her date whoever she wants to, or he is clueless either way works.

    Really pathetic when people have to talk about someone else to make themselves feel better because they are lackin’ somethin’ and they would rather look at other’s and pick on them instead of just workin’ on their own problems. This site is about competitive eatin’ and not competitive gossip and relationships. Comment on people to say “Hey nice job, gr8 win etc etc” or constructive criticism to help someone improve in life. If you are envious or jealous of someone then do the work to get where they are at and stop just runnin’ your mouth unless that is your trainin’ to fit more food in there. Grow up and work on your personal probs that are makin’ you talk about other people. If they aren’t an ass towards you to begin with why be an ass towards them? Talk about me all you want because I know you personally don’t know me so your words just fall short of my carin’ about.

    No you know what is really pathetic… When trifling ass people do dirt and think it’s cool no one will care. When they get caught or keep getting caught now it’s someone else issue. GTFO! Stop doing stupid shit and people won’t call you out. Don’t want people in your personal business stay out of the spotlight or better yet make it clear you are married or not and don’t lie, cheat, or hide. Dumbasses think the world has gone to crap… It’s not the world folks just a few folks who forgot what morality and devotion looks like.
