Woman breaks record, eats three steak dinners in 20 minutes at Big Texan in Amarillo

Molly Schuyler, a 120-pound mother of four, conquered the 72-ounce showdown at The Big Texan Steak Ranch by eating three of the steak meals in a combined 20 minutes Sunday afternoon.

Hundreds gathered outside the restaurant to watch her down three steaks, three baked potatoes, three shrimp cocktails, three salads and three rolls in a record-breaking time.

“We’ve seen a lot of things come through these doors but Molly ... she takes the cake ... she takes lots and lots of cake,” said a joking Bobby Lee, Big Texan co-owner.

The crowd cheered as Schuyler, a Nebraska native who lives in Sacramento, Calif., finished her first steak dinner in 4 minutes, 18 seconds, beating the restaurant’s record of 4:58 she set May 26, 2014.

And I weigh 200 pounds and male. Good for her. One 12 ounce steak sounds good about now. Too bad I already had pizza tonight.

Sounds like she had a cow!!

I have been to that place, was brought there by someone for a free dinner, and the thought of eating that much beef - just one of the steaks - was repulsive. I think I had the smallest steak on the menu and couldn't finish it... donated it to the other person's dog. I don't eat beef anymore, haven't for years and I don't eat much meat at all since I can't help think about the whole, live animal who ended up on the plate.

I am not completely vegan or vegetarian but I limit animal protein in my diet, it's best and healthiest for my body and for the biosphere. I wish many others saw it like that. Industrialized food has us start out with cow's milk, which is for baby cows not humans, and once addicted, it's hard to stop. Then there's the advertising strategy of keeping us all addicted to these products which are now poisoning us through chemical application and environmental degradation. It's hard to get addicts to see a different path but that is what needs to happen if we are to avoid extinction of our own species. Time will tell.

I'm currently addicted to soy milk. I am not much on almond milk, and I've just found a new SILK product: coconut milk. I will be trying that soon.

I have occasionally had eggs--organic, and from chickens raised by someone I know, who treats her chickens like they're pets.

I find that when I go out, I have to eat "vegetarian," because no one is offering Vegan alternatives. So, I've infrequently had cheese and milk products when I dine out with friends. So far, this hasn't upset my digestive system.

I love eating as a Vegan. I feel tons better.

Thanks for chatting with me!
