Baltimore Ravens center Bradley Bozeman completed the Big Texan 72 ounce steak in about 50 minutes, which I think makes him the second active NFL player to have completed the Amarillo, TX challenge after Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The stop was part of a 6 week cross-country tour to promote anti-bullying efforts.

Amarillo.com reports that a tortilla eating contest held at a Amarillo High School pep rally has resulted in a meeting of the Amarillo Independent School District Board of Trustees:
Last week, there was a “fiesta-themed” pep rally at Amarillo High School prior to its football game against Caprock High School, a school with a predominantly Hispanic student body. The rally caused a stir on social media.
At the pep rally there was a tortilla-eating contest, and later that night things escalated on social media, where initial claims were made that students were throwing tortillas at the pep rally as well as at the football game.
It was later determined that no tortillas were actually thrown.

update May 29 More Links: CNN | Huffington Post | Gawker | Jezebel
Molly is now on the BigTexan..com home page
Reddit.com forum thread with over 2000 comments, request for Ask Me Anything interview session.
update May 27 Molly Schuyler has a video and facebook gallery
Fox Sports, the Daily Mail and NBC Dallas Fort Worth have articles
The Big Texan reports that Molly Schuyler finished the 72 ounce steak challenge meal in 4:58, almost half the time of Joey Chestnut’s previous record. After finishing her first challenge meal, she ate another challenge in 9:59. This makes the new all time wall of fame top 4 (Amarillo.com article)
- Molly Schuyler 4:58 2014
- Joey Chestnut 8:52 2008
- Frank Pastore 9:30 (Cincinnati Reds pitcher) 1987
- Molly Schulyer 9:59 2014 (attempt #2)
Molly Schuyler is the 3rd person to finish two 72 Big Texan steaks in one session. Pro wrestler Klondike Bill ate two in 1966 and Rich LeFevre consumed 144 ounces of steak on the Donnie and Marie Osmond show in 2000.
I think Carlene LeFevre had the previous women’s Big Texan record at 30 minutes, 6 times longer than Molly Schuyler’s duration. As far as I know, no women have done the challenge in 10:00 – 29:59.
update May 27 Here is the updated list for fastest female finishing times for 72+ ounce steaks. Molly Schuyler has at least five attempts under 10 minutes. I am not aware of any other women finishing in under 20 minutes.
- 2:44 Molly Schuyler Sayler’s Portland, OR (did not finish all vegetables).
- 3:22 Molly Schuyler, Steak and Main, North East, MD (74 oz).
- 4:48 Molly Schuyler The Big Texan, Amarillo, TX 2014
- 8:03 Molly Schuyler, Black Iron Grill, Rock Port, MO 2013
- 9:59 Molly Schuyler The Big Texan, Amarillo, TX 2014 (attempt #2)
- 16:09 Molly Schuyler Little Richard’s Independence, MO (total weight 12 lbs) 2013
- 18:55 Molly Schuyler, Jess & Jim’s Steakhouse, Kansas City, 2013
- 21:47 Tracy Dalkin, Cattlemens, Harrogate, England, 2012
- 29:? Meredith Boxberger, Lone Star Grill, Newmarket, Ontario, 2012
