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 10:00Â – 29:59.
