Sonya marks a decade in competitive eating
New on SonyaTheBlackWidow.com
Sonya, before you became a competitive eater, did you ever do an eating challenge?
– Response: I guess I sort of did. Way back in the summer of 1997, when I first came to the US from my home country of South Korea, my brand new American friends and I went to the Trail Dust Streak House in Dallas, Texas. Being only a little bigger than I am now (then about 108 lbs), my friends could not believe it when I took them up on their dare and ate the Trail Dust’s (then) featured 52-oz T-Bone Steak with a Baked Potato and a large Milk Shake. I was not close to being full when I finished, and I honestly didn’t understand the reason for my friends’ state of shock. I just thought that they had poor appetites.
A 50 ounce steak (called the “Bull Shipper”) is still on the Trail Dust’s menu, but there does not appear to be any online “Wall of Fame” on the restaurant website.

(Butch) Sonya’s talents are beyond explanation. Perhaps she is tailor made for this sport.

It will be very interesting to take a snapshot of the participants right now and then again in a few years. I think we would not even recognize 60 percent of the names in the top 50.
