Career
In August 2012, she became the first woman to complete the Stellanator, a food challenge at Stella's Bar and Grill in Bellevue, Nebraska. The Stellanator sandwich includes six hamburger patties, six eggs, six pieces of cheese and six pieces of bacon topped with fried onions, jalapeños, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, two buns, and mayonnaise.
In September 2012, she became the first woman to attempt (and to win) Sinful Burger's "Goliath" Challenge in Omaha, Nebraska, 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of food that includes two 1.5 pounds (680 g) hamburgers topped with ten slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions, between two large pieces of Indian fry bread, with a 1 pound (450 g) side of French fries. She set a new record for the Goliath challenge, 17 minutes and three seconds. Sinful Burger thus renamed Randy's Wall (for Randy Santel, who held the previous record for the challenge) to Molly's Wall.
In October 2012, she won the Pig Wings Challenge at Starsky's in Omaha, Nebraska, which had previously been featured on the Travel Channel's Man v. Food Nation, in 38 minutes. She later finished the Pig Wing challenge in under 12 minutes. In that same month she became the first woman to win (and to try) the Big Axe Calzone challenge, held by the Old River Pizza Company in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She finished in 11 minutes and 23 seconds, a record for the challenge. Also that month Schuyler and her friend Tyler Danforth ate the Big Joe Pizza at Frank's Pizzeria in Nebraska in 28 minutes. The Big Joe is 12 pounds (5.4 kg) of pizza--4 pounds (1.8 kg) of crust, 2 pounds (910 g) of cheese, 2 pounds (910 g) of pepperoni, 2 pounds (910 g) of sausage and 26 ounces (740 g) of sauce--and two challengers must eat it in one hour to win.
Later in October, Schuyler became the first person to win, and to attempt, the Nebraska Brewing Company's Death Pizza challenge, a 5 pounds (2.3 kg) pie covered in sauce made with ghost chili peppers. She finished in 24 minutes, 56 seconds. Since she was the first person to win the challenge, she got to name the pizza, and named it "Molly's Humble Pie." On November 10, 2012, she defeated Randy Santel in a Goliath challenge face-off, finishing in 6 minutes and 43 seconds.
In December 2012, she became the first woman to win the Adam Emmenecker Challenge--eating a 5-lb (2.3 kg) barbecue meal at Jethro's Des Moines-area restaurant. She did so again a few weeks later, and in January 2013 she did so a third time.
In early 2014, Schuyler broke the 72 ounces (2.0 kg) steak eating world record, having eaten it in 2 minutes and 44 seconds at Sayler's Old Country Kitchen in Portland, Oregon. The prior record at that restaurant was 12 minutes and 53 seconds. The prior world record was 6 minutes 38 seconds.
Schuyler holds a similar May 2014 record at Amarillo's Big Texan Steak Ranch, polishing off a 72 ounces (2.0 kg) steak with side dishes in 4 minutes 58 seconds and returning for seconds (14 minutes 57 seconds for both meals). She did not, however, eat a third steak meal in the same hour.
In January 2014, she won Wing Bowl 22 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She ate 363 wings, a Wing Bowl record. The next day, February 1, 2014, she won the IHOP Pancake Bowl and the bacon-eating contest at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival in Des Moines by eating 5 pounds of bacon in 3 minutes and later completing the Adam Emmenecker Challenge on Sunday, February 2, 2014.
In July 2014, she became the first woman to win Z-Burger's Independence Burger Eating Contest in Washington, DC, eating 26 burgers in 10 minutes.

In March 2015, she set a world record by eating a four-pound sandwich and one pound of tater tots in 2 minutes and 55 seconds. That same month she established another world record by eating five pounds of bacon in 5 minutes and 2.1 seconds.
In April 2015, she returned to Big Texan Steak Ranch and ate three 72-oz. steak dinners in 20 minutes.
