Short story (and possible novel) with female competitive eater

The Columbus Dispatch has a review of “This Is Not Chick Lit,” a collection of short stories by female authors. The reviewer has the following comments on one of the short stories in that book:

Most delightfully surprising is The Seventy-two-Ounce Steak Challenge by Dika Lam, who has published only a few short stories in small magazines. Her touching and hilarious story follows two Chinese-Canadian sisters on a working vacation in Calgary, Alberta, where one of them starts down the path that will take her into becoming “the champion you know and love — winner of the International Matzo-Ball-Eating Contest, title-holder of the Conch Fritter Invitational, the girl who downed nine sticks of butter in five minutes.”

A review in econoculture says that Ms. Lam is working on extending her short story into a novel.
