Isabelle Turell’s myspace page lists her ethnicity as Hispanic. Orange County taco champion Karina Muniz and “Nurse” Caterina of the Heart Attack Grill would be Isabelle’s only rivals for the title of top Latina competitive eater that I am aware of.

After successfully completing a 48 ounce steak challenge bodybuilder Isabelle Turell is taking suggestions for her next eating challenge:

I even thought about doing a video clip on my cheat meal as I am due for another one. Maybe I could do a challenge with eating 20 McDonalds cheeseburgers in less than 20 mins. Any other suggestions. LOL.

Trust me I can eat

update Isabelle has additional comments on her finishing the steak in a bodybuilding forum thread. She has been banned by the restaurant (which is probably Sam’s Steakhouse in Terre Haute, Indiana) from attempting the challenge again.

Bodybuilder Isabelle Turell has uploaded a video of her describing the contents of a full grocery cart to http://youtube.com/watch?v=ai_T8DjUyCY She estimates the food will last her 2 or 3 days. Ms. Turell comments on the video in this Muscular Development thread and says she has considered entering an eating contest In this musclemayhem thread:

Now one another note… If I to a resturant like for example I went to Cheesecake Factory. I order the big sampler appetizer. i eat the whole thing myself. THe waiter will be like thats alot of food, mentally i am thinking “yeah and your piont is??” I am a paying customer, don’t question me on what I order. I must have ate that thing up in 10 minutes. I then order the big filet mignon and of course cheesecake not 1 but maybe 3 cheesecake to nibble here and there. But that once in a while.

I have ben tempted to enter these food eating contest, but I can’t see myself stuffing face like some of those people. But i would be kinda of fun to try. I would probably pass out or something
