Competitive eater Molly Schuyler broke a new record this weekend, eating 3 72-oz steaks in less than 20 minutes.
At this year’s 72oz Showdown at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, Schuyler was matched up against four teams of two, and she singlehandedly destroyed her competition while besting herself in the process.
The other teams included professional wrestlers and football players and they each had one hour to throw down as much as they could.
In total, Schuyler, who weighs just 124 pounds, ate 3 steaks, 3 backed potatoes, 3 shrimp cocktails, 3 side salads and 3 rolls.
Basically, as The Big Texan describes it, she consumed more than 13.5 pounds of food which is “the equivalent of a bowling ball or averaged sized three-month-old baby.”
Adam Richman…. a new challenge for you.

One survivor had an emotional finish to the race after she was injured in the 2013 blast while watching from the sidelines.
Rebekah Gregory DiMartino, alongside her trainer who is also an amputee, ran the last few miles of the race and crossed the finish line, visibly moved by her achievement.
Donna Scott, mother of a different race participant said: “people will never really heal from what happened two years ago.”

The Telegraph are doing a “Who should I vote for” on their website where you answer some questions, prioritise your views, and exclude any parties you’d never vote for the get an idea of which party best matches your views.
For me, it ended up with the Greens, which is the party I have been voting for a few elections, but probably won’t this year….
