(intense electronic beat)
-
- Hi everyone.
-
It's Kate here from Kate food challenges.
-
I am absolutely terrified because this is humongous.
-
(rock music)
-
- I found her videos by Googling hot British girl
-
swallows tons of meat.
-
That's Kate, and she puts the gorge in gorgeous.
-
As a competitive eater,
-
she takes on some of the Internet's
-
most disgusting food challenges
-
with the charm of Mary Poppins
-
and the metabolism of a meth addict.
-
The real prize for completing most food challenges
-
is early onset colon cancer.
-
America's favorite food challenge is Thanksgiving,
-
and the rules are simple.
-
Gamble on football,
-
never mentioned native American genocide
-
and shove three types of pie in your pie hole.
-
It's the one day of the year we get together
-
with people we've hated our entire lives
-
to experience what it feels like
-
to work in the Boston market.
-
Gluttony is how we remind all the starving countries
-
that we don't give a shit about them.
-
But if Kate wants to have her cake and eat it too,
-
in one sitting, I'll fly her across the pond to Hollywood
-
where women are discouraged from ever eating
-
in this week's cewebrity profile.
-
(funky beat)
-
(catchy jingle)
-
Welcome.
-
I'm your server, Dan-iel.
-
is this your first time dining with us?
-
- Yeah.
-
- Well everything on our menu is a food challenge.
-
Can I start you with an appetizer?
-
Maybe our Holy Moly?
-
That's a shitload of guacamole?
-
- Yeah, sounds easy.
-
- We'll see.
-
- Oh my God.
-
What's in this?
-
- The secret to our guacamole
-
is that it's 100% Wasabi.
-
- Can I get a drink please?
-
- I can get you a drink,
-
but it does void the appetizer challenge.
-
Your name is Kate Ovens.
-
Is that a stage name?
-
- No, that's my real name.
-
Isn't that weird how that works out all the time?
-
- I know, to be fair,
-
I didn't expect any of this to happen, so--
-
- Just to be a competitive eater,
-
and your last name is Ovens, what a coincidence.
-
How did you get into competitive eating?
-
- I used to actually be kind of chubby growing up
-
and I used to be able to eat quite a lot.
-
And then I decided when I was about 16,
-
that I was going to lose all of the weight.
-
But as I lost the weight, I didn't really lose my appetite.
-
I was just always hungry.
-
So found a challenge that was near me up in Newcastle
-
and I was the only person to ever finish it, so--
-
- You say chubby?
-
- Chubby not fat.
-
- You weren't fat? - No.
-
I was sort of solid, I guess, but--
-
- Do you have any photos that you'd like to share of you
-
when you were chubby?
-
- I do have one.
-
I actually got rid of all of them.
-
I just hated the way I looked.
-
- It's who you were!
-
- I'm annoyed.
-
I wish I had all the chubby photos to be like,
-
this is who I used to be!
-
- That's clearly the appeal here,
-
is that you're an attractive woman
-
that does such a unladylike.
-
- Yeah. - Have you ever thrown up.
-
- Once.
-
- After eating?
-
- That was in October last year.
-
and that was right at the beginning.
-
And I'm never doing that again.
-
What was the competition?
-
It was a challenge called the trashcan challenge
-
and it was a giant dustbin lid
-
and it's got chicken wings, a burger.
-
Bolgonese, two portions of chips, onion rings, ribs,
-
just everything pretty much.
-
- Is it worse because it's over in the UK
-
and the food, there is so awful?
-
- I only go to the good places now.
-
They all contact me.
-
I can actually have pick and choose of where I go.
-
- How big was that burrito that you took down?
-
- Pretty big and you had to get it done in 10 minutes,
-
which was interesting.
-
- Did you ever cheat?
-
- No, no, no, no.
-
Well, the thing is I lose about 50% of my challenges.
-
There are so many competitive eaters
-
who are so much better than me.
-
- But they're ugly.
-
- No, they're not.
-
No, they're really not.
-
They're all sort of everyone's--
-
- Sure. - In their own way.
-
So. - I understand.
-
What was that one video?
-
I think it was the burger one,
-
but I think it also having to take down a milkshake
-
at the end.
-
- Yeah, no,
-
that was the 28 ounce burger at a place called Jam Jar
-
in Newcastle.
-
That was one of my best ones actually.
-
To me, that's a dream.
-
That probably sounds absolutely disgusting but,
-
- Yeah, no, it is.
-
- It was delicious.
-
And, I've managed to finish that in under 10 minutes, so--
-
- Hopefully you make it on our wall of fame.
-
- Hopefully.
-
- Only five people have ever made it.
-
And four of them are Oprah.
-
- Who was the other one.
-
Believe it or not, Pete Rose.
-
- I don't know who that is-- - He's a baseball player.
-
- Okay.
-
- Should be in the hall of fame.
-
But you know, he had a gambling problem.
-
America's pastime.
-
You think you'll never do a Nathan's hot dog eating contest?
-
The thing is, I'm not good enough for it, like--
-
- The thing is, you're not welcome.
-
It's, 4th of July is Independence Day.
-
It's our nations holiday.
-
- You say that, but there's a girl from New Zealand
-
who came this year.
-
- That's, what's so great about our country.
-
We just, open arms unless you're Muslim or Mexican.
-
Then, then we apparently have huge issues.
-
How long do you think you're going to do this?
-
- I'm probably going to say maybe like a couple of years.
-
It's fun now whilst I'm doing it,
-
but it takes a lot of time and effort.
-
What if your metabolism slows down?
-
My metabolism has never really been fast.
-
I have to work really hard.
-
So I'm completely aware of what every,
-
everything that's going to happen in the future.
-
- What's a normal meal for you?
-
- Probably chicken breasts.
-
I've got four different types of vegetables
-
I'll have with it.
-
- Yeah, you're pretty strict.
-
- Yeah.
-
- What kind of workouts are you doing?
-
- I've actually got one of my friends as a personal trainer
-
and he's given me--
-
- I don't like personal trainers.
-
I find them creepy.
-
Is he creepy?
-
- No, no, no.
-
He's the loveliest person ever.
-
No, no, no.
-
I know everyone kind of thinks that PTs are a little bit
-
seedy, but he's one of my best friends.
-
- I'm sure he is.
-
What's it like the next day.
-
And you know what I'm asking about?
-
- Honestly fine.
-
Like absolute, nothing wrong.
-
- When you go on a date,
-
do you have any problem eating in front of a,
-
I would never eat like anything close
-
to any of my challenge sizes at all in front of a date.
-
- No? - No, I've used the most,
-
Emasculator, if I sat here with you doing a food challenge,
-
like on a date and everything,
-
you were getting full on like one burger
-
and I'm there on like number four,
-
you'd think, Oh God, like this is...
-
- It's going to be expensive.
-
Is what I'd be thinking. - Probably.
-
- I don't know if I would be turned off,
-
but I would just be like this, this is gonna cost me
-
in the long haul.
-
You can only stuff your face with one meal
-
for the rest of your life, what is it?
-
- Pizza.
-
That was like a no-brainer.
-
- You ever had Chicago deep dish?
-
No, and I kill myself.
-
I need to have it because everyone--
-
- You don't. - Really?
-
- There's just no need.
-
- Really...
-
- I mean, pizza is so wonderful.
-
And then they said, hey, why don't we take this thing?
-
That's wonderful and make it gross.
-
It's like lasagna.
-
- See I like lasagna. - I like lasagna too,
-
but it's already invented.
-
All right.
-
I've just been talking your ear off.
-
Have you had a chance to decide what you like for an entree?
-
Our specials tonight,
-
we have a 72 ounce slider and a quarter mile long chili dog.
-
- I think I might go with the fettuccine Alfredo.
-
- Okay, that's actually called,
-
fuck, that's going to give me a lot of diarrhea
-
Fettuccine Alfredo.
-
I'll put that right in.
-
Oh, hold on. I'm peeling off the seat.
-
Be Alfredo.
-
Be very Alfredo.
-
Now for this challenge,
-
you have to finish all of it before the video ends.
-
Fresh Parmesan?
-
- Yeah.
-
- Okay say when.
-
I'm not even gonna charge you for the extra Parmesan.
-
Bon Appetit.
-
- This is horrible.
-
No.
-
Oh my God.
-
Someone didn't like their meal.
-
- And where's the bathroom.
-
- We don't have one.
-
It voids the challenge.
-
There is one at the Home Depot across the street.
-
But if you use it, it voids the challenge.
-
- I'm all right?
-
- Oh, gross.
-
Hope you saved room for dessert.
-
- Oh no, I couldn't possibly.
-
- If you didn't save room for dessert,
-
you void the challenge.
-
- Fine.
-
- Geez, I hate my section.
-
Do you like gummy bears?
-
- Yeah, they're fine.
-
- Great.
-
Because it's adult novelty store
-
sent me one ton of expired gummy dicks for free.
-
And I'm going to pass that savings onto you.
-
You have 60 seconds.
-
Or-- - It voids the challenge.
-
- No, I murder the cook!
-
- Eat those dicks lady.
-
I've got a
