When you think of eating contests, you probably imagine rows of impressively obese men hunched over a mound of hot dogs showing a complete disregard for the importance of mastication.

It might surprise you, therefore, to see the latest winner of the coveted Z-Burger’s Independence Burger Eating Contest, Molly Schuyler. The slight, unassuming woman is renowned on the eating contest circuit but still surprised everyone when she inhaled 26 burgers in the 10-minute time limit to become the first person without a Y chromosome to claim the trophy, bagging $1,500 prize money in the process too.

Molly boasts an impressive gastronomical CV; she once scoffed 363 chicken wings in 30 minutes. Speaking after the Z-Burger eat-off, she said: “Most girls won’t do it because they think it’s gross but I have no shame.”
