    120 oz, that’s a big steak. Ian you’ll be able to finish that one. Just leave your wallet at home, you won’t need it. Unless you want to get some desert after…

    Sonya’s First World Record was the Hardee’s Thickburger Title in the Green Bay area.She beat me 7 to 5 1/2 and I was shocked because I really thought I would take it.

    Sonya is in my opinion the greatest Female Eater and also One of the nicest People I have met.

    I hope you have many more good Years in Competitive eating Sonya

    In all honesty I think she is one of the top three or four American girls even if her time has passed. She might not have ever been able to compete on the same level as the top Japanese girls but thats okay I guess because theyve always been in a class by themselves. She should get out now before she drops further.

    As long as she wants to compete, why stop? Even if you think she has lost a little, which I am not saying she has, she’s still kicking a lot of butt out there. It looks like there are only 2 qualifiers with more hot dogs so far this year.

    For speed & low to mid distance Sonya can blow all the Japanese women away.

    I know she thinks she is best at longer times, but those Japanese women are barely human. At an hour or more, the Japanese women would take her.

    She is the greatest female eater of all time. Its not even close.

    It’s good to see videos of other eaters that aren’t in the top 10. Good luck Pretty Boy in the finals.
