AMARILLO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Everything is bigger in Texas -- even your appetite.

A competitive eater conquered three 72-ounce steak dinners in about 20 minutes during a food challenge held at an Amarillo restaurant.

Several dozens of people gathered outside The Big Texan Steak Ranch on Sunday afternoon to watch Molly Schuyler eat the steaks, plus three baked potatoes, three shrimp cocktails, three salads and three rolls.

Schuyler finished her first steak dinner in 4 minutes and 18 seconds, which beats the restaurant's record of 4 minutes and 58 seconds, which she set last May.

Prior to Schuyler, competitive eater Joey Chestnut held the record for six years, eating the dinner in a little under nine minutes.

Schuyler told the Amarillo Globe-News that she had to turn down a fourth steak, because she was sick of the taste and not because she was full.

Schuyler, who's from Sacramento, California, ate 363 wings in 30 minutes at a Philadelphia competition in January 2014.
