i went to an all-women’s college, and i’m ready to shake up some gender norms. i want to create the greatest female competitive eating team this world has ever seen. so far, i’ve recruited my sister, and my friend claudia. my sister can eat like a beast – it’s genetic. i mean that as a compliment. while my sister and i are both fairly small women, claudia is going to be our secret weapon. she is my height, and roughly a size 000. yes, three zeros. i just made up a size for her. don’t be fooled; homegirl can EAT. especially cheeseburgers.
