Kicker - Chili dog challenge

NICK EICHER, HOST: A Maryland woman just knocked down a record that has stood for 15 years.

The Corner Bar in Rockford, Mich. is known for its “Wall of Fame.” To earn a place on the wall, you have to eat at least a dozen chili dogs within 4 hours. Thousands have accomplished that feat.

But the record for most dogs downed at The Corner Bar was 43 ½ chili dogs in 2006.

But that changed on Wednesday. Molly Schuyler rolled into town and strolled through the front door.

The general manager of the restaurant spoke with local TV station WOOD:

VANAMAN: She just came in and went about business like it was a routine thing.

And it was somewhat routine for her. She is a competitive eater. For the slender-built, it was no problem at all.

She downed a total of 50 dogs in just 22 minutes!

And she wasn’t finished. Her server reported that after demolishing the record, Molly Schuyler evidently had saved some room—where? I have no idea.

PAAVO: Then she packed up and out the door she went, and she said she was going to go to Dairy Queen because she was hungry for ice cream.

Not for me. Dessert first. Life’s so uncertain.
