Interview with Professional Eater Katina Eats Kilos
Nick VinZant 0:11
Hey everybody, welcome to Profoundly Pointless. My name is Nick VinZant. Coming up in this episode, the biggest eating challenges and the best food,
Katina Eats Kilos 0:21
I want to go and like try a restaurant challenge or competitive eating. So I bought a cheap like $90 camera to get to my first ever restaurant challenge, did it no problem wanted dessert afterward. And the rest is history I just was hooked, you generally find that people who do competitive eating are relatively fit. And that's because there's this theory that's about the bigger you get, the more like, the more fat that's around your organs, the more that's pushing down on your abdomen, and stopping your stomach from being able to expand as much as you want.
Nick VinZant 0:53
I want to thank you so much for joining us. If you get a chance, like, download, subscribe, share, we really appreciate it, it really helps us out. So our first guest has traveled the country taking on some of the most well known and biggest eating challenges out there. And she has this fascinating insight not only into where you can get a lot of food, but where you can go to get some really good food, and also what happens to your body after you eat 10 double cheeseburgers or a giant plate of seafood. This is professional eater. catina eats kilos. How did you get started in this? Was this a goal that you set out for? Or was this something that just happened?
Katina Eats Kilos 1:42
It was kind of a goal that I set out for in a way I got my start after doing a bodybuilding show in 2019, I did a women's physique competition at a little bodybuilding show called The Empire classic. And as I was dieting for the show, I was very very hungry all the time, obviously. And so I was watching people on YouTube do like big cheat days and competitive eating. And then I was of course a big fan of Man vs food growing up. So I kind of had that in the back of my mind as well. And the whole time kind of leading into the show. I was like I could do that I could do competitive or professional eating. I could do a restaurant challenge. No problem. So after the show I placed really well I got fifth, which wasn't bad because I competed as a natural. And this was an untested show. I'll leave that where you will on how you want to infer that. But I was really tiny on stage I was 104 pounds and I was like I'm going to put on muscle and I'm also very competitive. I want to go and like try a restaurant challenge or competitive eating. So I bought a cheap like $90 camera to my first ever restaurant challenge, did it no problem wanted dessert afterward. And the rest is history. I just was hooked kept taking a camera along and beating bigger and bigger local challenges here in Spokane.
Nick VinZant 2:53
Now did you know always like okay, I can eat a lot? Or was this something that like you were? Oh, man.
Katina Eats Kilos 3:00
Yes, so I've always known I could eat a lot. As a kid I had a really huge appetite. Like taco night, I was always keeping up with my dad, my stepbrother and everything. So I mean, I always kind of knew that. And then I think like the defining moment was as I was dieting for I dieted for a lot of years, kind of just for fun, just to kind of look good, feel good. But while I was deployed, we kind of had like a dining system like a cafeteria, so it's kind of all you can eat in a way. And I would load up so much vegetable and stuff on my plate just to stay full, that like it would flex my paper plate in the cafeteria. And so like the workers started calling me spinach, and we're like in shock. So I just have this like thing, just full of food. And so I actually had a buddy that was like, you know, it'd be kind of cool if you started a YouTube channel about being fit, but being able to eat a stupid amount of food. And at the time, I was like, No, that's a ridiculous idea, then, you know, Flash forward two years, and I ended up doing it.
Nick VinZant 3:56
Why are you good at it? Is it just is there something physiologically like? Is your stomach bigger? Are you just like, I'm just gonna keep eating like, Why? Why are you good at it.
Katina Eats Kilos 4:09
There's some, you know, genetics involved there that some people are just genetically able to hold more food in their stomach. And then some of it also is dieting. The physiological and psychological effects of dieting for a long time can be a severe food focus, and then trouble with hormone regulation. So to where it to the point where you could eat until you're physically miserable, but like sight, psychologically, you're still going to want to eat food. And that kind of like that hunger, that drive can make it to where like even doing my first restaurant challenges where I wasn't trained, practiced at all. But it was like, man, no big deal. I mean, I'm really, really full, but I'll keep eating. But as that kind of goes away, and as you put on weight and you get back to a healthy weight range and your hormones come back to normal and everything like that, then it comes down to doing a lot of practice. And so I think just being that that discipline from my body, Building side and competing on that side kind of carried over to practicing and staying physically ready for the restaurant challenges.
Nick VinZant 5:06
You're obviously a very fit person, like, how do you? How do you balance those two things out between looking fit, but eating like 10,000 calories a day?
Katina Eats Kilos 5:19
Absolutely, yeah, it takes a lot of math. And so I've actually always been a pretty big nutrition and fitness nerd. So it kind of does help. And then my degree is in kinesiology. So basically, so on camera, I'm eating these crazy meals, right, but I don't eat like that every day. So basically, how I look at it and how I looked at my bodybuilding diet as well was I instead of looking at my calories on a daily basis, I looked at them on a weekly average. So I figured out that if I wanted to slowly gain weight, which was my goal with the professional eating that I needed to eat roughly 21,000 calories per week. So if I film, say, two videos in a week, maybe one restaurant challenge is 6000 calories. So there's that one day and then maybe later on in the week, I do like a smaller for funsies challenge that's only like 4000 calories, I know that I still have 11,000 calories to play with throughout the rest of the week. So sometimes, you know, the day after doing a big restaurant challenge, you're pretty much full and I might completely fast the day after a challenge some still satisfied and full. Or maybe I'll only have like a small salad or something like that. So basically, it just comes down to your nutrition and staying disciplined. When I did my came back from my recent Florida tour, and that was two months on the road, where I was doing restaurant challenges back to back, I had zero time to exercise and I didn't have time to keep my calories under that 21,000 per week. So I got pretty big. So the only reason we're talking now and I look relatively fit is I've had about two months of dieting back down again and getting myself back into kind of fighting shape. So it's just a little bit of knowledge, a little bit of discipline,
Nick VinZant 6:56
your natural weight would be about what and how is that different from other people who do what you do like I did they weighed generally the same? Are they much bigger? like three 400 pound people?
Katina Eats Kilos 7:10
No, actually, you'll find that in the professional and competitive eating circuit that most of the top competitors are going to be at a lower weight range are very, very fit. So if you look at those who are doing the Nathan's hot dog eating contest, there's really nobody that's that overweight that's up on stage performing. Well, if you look at Joey chestnut, he's a pretty built guy. He's the guy who's done like 75 hotdogs in 10 minutes. You look at Matt Stoney who was one in the past. If you remember, Kobayashi from years ago, if you ever watched that on ESPN, the little Japanese guy, he would pull up his shirt and you know, gas, you generally find that people who do competitive eating are relatively fit. And that's because there's this theory that's about the the bigger you get, the more like the more fat that's around your organs, the more that's pushing down on your abdomen, and stopping your stomach from being able to expand as much as you want. And surprisingly, the act of eating is pretty physical and you need to be in really good shape. So the the fuller, you get the the more pressure that also puts on your lungs so you can get to the point of fullness where it's actually your you can only really take deep shots or excuse me very shallow breaths. So it's kind of like a in your heart is going like 120 beats per minute. If you don't have that cardiovascular health, that would be super, super dangerous. I can I can imagine. I mean, there's really not a lot of study that goes into that. But for the most part, everyone who is a would consider themselves a professional or competitive in any way is going to be in really decent shape.
Nick VinZant 8:39
Are you a competitive eater or a professional eater like what's the so cific nomenclature I should be using here
Katina Eats Kilos 8:46
I consider myself a professional eater simply because I haven't actually ever done a food eating competition. So I consider a competition where I'm side by side going head to head with somebody doing something like Nathan's hot dog eating contest or a taco eating contest or something I've never actually done one. Every time I've signed up for one the event has been like canceled or something has happened. And it's really just not my forte. Anyway, I'm more of like an endurance runner, if you would put it that way. I can eat a lot over a long period of time. And I'd rather do that. As opposed to soaking a hot dog bun and water and stuffing it my face that just doesn't really appeal to me. I kind of like to enjoy the food at the same time. I'm a foodie at heart, but I also am competitive. So professional eater is kind of a term that I use mostly all attributed to my boyfriend's been using it for a while my some of your viewers might have heard of him Randy Santel. He's a pretty big household name. He actually just did his 1,000th restaurant challenge when just a few days ago. He kind of helped coined that term and basically it just means that you earn your living from eating food and touring and doing this as a as a job and there's no side hustle to it. That's all it just became the primary focus. So my job, basically I consider is to entertain people through the act of eating food.
Nick VinZant 10:06
You yourself like, what is it like 250,000 subscribers on YouTube? Yeah, what's over that? Are you surprised that there's that many people who are interested in it
Katina Eats Kilos 10:20
not that are interested in the topic itself, because I think everyone can relate to eating. I mean, that's a that's a discipline that we're all pretty focused on. And we require, so I think everyone can relate to it pretty well. But I was definitely surprised that that people specifically wanted to follow me, my channel grew way faster than expected. I was really, really lucky when it came to my YouTube growth and my reach in that way. So I was able to go from YouTube kind of being a side hustle to being my profession, much quicker than most people would a lot of people it takes years and years. And for me, I was able to do that within five or six months. So I was definitely blown away by the level of support that I got on YouTube and the helpfulness just of the competitive and professional eating community. Because we are a pretty small niche. As far as content creators go. I mean, we all have probably heard each other's names. And but as far as viewers go, there's a lot of different types of eating that people like to watch. I know that sounds really weird. So you have people that like to watch the man vs. Food style restaurant challenges, you have people that like to watch people build challenges at home, you have those that like to just watch people sit quietly and talk to a camera about food that's called a mukbang, which is like an eating show. I think I pronounced it. I've never know, some people were like, it's a mug bang, I don't know. But um, it's like a phenomenon where you just sit and talk quietly, there's people that are into what's called ASMR, where you don't talk at all. You just like they like to hear the chewing noises. Which is a little far fetched and different for me, not my cup of tea. But I mean, there's a wide gamut of what people want to see. So yeah, yeah, there's definitely a lot of viewership in it and a very broad, kind of like diversity of the type of people who want to watch as well.
Nick VinZant 12:05
When you talk about people who are watching it, are they generally watching it? Because they just want to, you know, see the places that you go see the different challenges? Maybe just, you know, they relate to you? Or does it sometimes verge on like, okay, maybe we're getting into, like, fetish kind of things, right, did it?
Katina Eats Kilos 12:25
I would assume that if maybe like ASMR, maybe would kind of fall into that category you're talking about not necessarily like a fetish. I mean, to me, that kind of has like connotations on the back end. Yeah. But I think that for the most part, you kind of have this range of people that are into it for watching the food, maybe they're on some sort of like specific diet themselves, and they can't eat it. So I know that there's like a lot of viewers that are, you know, maybe diabetic, and they can't have a doughnut and they love to just watch you eat a doughnut, or maybe they're gluten intolerant or something, they just want to see you eat that kind of food. And then you have the other end of people that do they want to see the travel, the unique restaurants, etc. And then those that just want to see the the competition of it all. And then there's those that have a combination of all of them. So like me, as a viewer, before I got started, I liked the competitive nature of man versus food and being like, wow, that guy just ate eight pounds of cheeseburger That's crazy. Like, that's awesome to see that that's physically possible. And then there was the other side of me that was also watching because I can't eat the food. So I'm just going to kind of live vicariously through so and so eating the food. So I think it might just be like a combination. But it's kind of hard to speak for whatever other people are into, you know, I'm not entirely sure.
Nick VinZant 13:43
How does your body adjust to it right? Are you all? Are you basically either completely full or starving? Or does your body kind of adjust pretty quickly throughout the week?
Katina Eats Kilos 13:53
It depends on the sort of schedule I'm on. So like, when I was touring in Florida, there was zero time to get hungry, I was so full that it was actually kind of holding me back because it was like, I'd have a challenge. And maybe I'd only have 24 hours to recover before the next challenge. And being kind of a smaller sized human, I'm not able to kind of burn those calories, burn through that fuel as quickly as others maybe could. So whereas someone like my boyfriend who's six foot five and a big guy, he can ride his bike for a couple hours and at least digest a fair amount of food. me it would take you know I'm, you know a third of his body weight, it would take me three times as long as at least to burn those calories. So generally, if you're on tour, it's mostly feeling uncomfortable all the time and very, very full. But when I'm at home and I have like a more relaxed schedule, I maybe only filmed two videos a week at the most. And so I'm able to make that a pretty good balance and I'll kind of strategically do maybe one super high calorie day like today. I'm actually filming throughout the day, so I'll probably be between 10 and 15,000 calories today. So I know that later on in the week when I am going to film again. It'll probably have to be a really small challenge. And then I'm also probably gonna end up fasting tomorrow, I don't imagine I'll be hungry tomorrow. And maybe the day after that, maybe I'll only have like five or 600 calories. And then by the time the next day rolls around, I'll definitely be good and hungry and ready to film again. So it's all just balance.
Nick VinZant 15:16
What's the next day like, after a big challenge,
Katina Eats Kilos 15:21
it depends on what the kind of food is there sometimes where the day following a challenge, I'll feel fantastic because I'll all that energy will be there, I'll have a lot of carbohydrates, and I'll perform great in the gym. But that's generally if you have something that's more middle of the road, like maybe a pasta challenge or like an easier pizza challenge. But if you have something that's like, relatively heavy, or very, very high in fat, or very, very high in sugar, it can definitely make you feel very sluggish and just kind of, excuse me sleepy and kind of tired throughout the day. So it really just depends on what I'm what the challenge is made of. A good example was, I did a really big barbecue food challenge. And as delicious and amazing as that was two racks of ribs has like the fat content that I should be eating in like a month. So I was definitely very sluggish The next day, and I feel like that one was probably one of my longer recoveries probably took me about 30 hours to recover from that challenge. Just feeling dizzy, just kind of sleepy and all you really want to the the energy that normally I would be able to go and lift something at the gym and have a good workout. I was like, oh, maybe I'll go for a walk slowly. And just kind of chill. So it all depends. Really.
Nick VinZant 16:33
Are you ready for some listener slash harder questions? Absolutely. Yeah, open book, easiest challenge that you've ever done.
Katina Eats Kilos 16:42
Probably my very, very first one. My very first restaurant challenge was the fat burger, triple XL King Burger Challenge. And basically, you have a 20 minute time limit to finish a, I believe it's three half pound patties with like all the toppings of just like a cheeseburger and so you have to eat it and it's maybe comes out to like a pound and a half like a two pound challenge. You just have to finish that in 20 minutes. So that was the first challenge I ever did in fat burger is a smaller chain, I think they have they have some here in the Washington State. There's a couple in like Vegas, maybe Arizona, California. It's not a huge chain, but they're they're around. So that one was probably one of the easier ones. hardest one that that changes every time. I always have like a different opinion of what what was hard. But probably one of the ones that I went the hardest on was my boyfriend and I did a team cheese steak challenge. And it was four feet of Philly cheese steak that we had to finish. And it was I can't remember if it was it was somewhere between 12 and 14 pounds total of food. But the bread was just so thick. And it was like that really crusty kind of bread, you know, almost like a super bread. So that came down to the wire we ended up winning but to win, I was dipping the bread and he also had to finish a shake at the same time we tried to finish a shake. And so I was dipping the bread and shake. And then it got so tight at the very end that we were both dipping our bread, which is something that I just brought up. I hate doing dipping the bread and water and it was my first time ever doing that in front of people and I was just cramming as much as I could into our face just because the combination of the bread being filling and the just the jaw fatigued from having to chew for an hour. And on steak and cheese that got cold and all that stuff. It was the hardest thing ever, but we came away with the win in that one hour time limit. So probably that one.
Nick VinZant 18:39
What's Why does the water help? What's the I don't know?
Katina Eats Kilos 18:43
Exactly just makes it squishier. And you don't have to really chew it. So you know how like so you get something kind of like, I don't know something like can't really think of it's like a brownie. If you eat a brownie. Yeah, the easiest. Swallow doesn't maybe chase it with some milk or coffee. It's kind of like that idea just kind of helps you swallow the food and get it down quicker instead of just chewing on it for so long. Because that outer crust when your jaw is tired is just brutal, absolutely brutal, hardest food to eat.
Nick VinZant 19:10
Easiest food to eat like oh, this is a pancake challenge is easy. No, this is a potato challenge. I'm in trouble.
Katina Eats Kilos 19:19
I think one of the easier foods to eat quickly is probably something like an omelet challenge or eggs because you kind of can just shovel it in your face pretty easily. So like eggs or like hashbrowns or something, something really soft, where you can literally just kind of shovel it in and there's really no technique involved. And then on the flip side, ones that can be challenging are like sandwich challenger stuff, things that have a lot of chewing involved. Steak can be difficult if it's overcooked or any sort of meat challenge because you're spending so much time cutting it so much time chewing it that obviously doesn't taste as good if it's overcooked. So I mean it can be anywhere from a super chewy crust pizza to an overcooked steak. Those. those tend to be the
Nick VinZant 20:01
Do you ever get the meat sweats?
Katina Eats Kilos 20:04
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. While you're eating food, it can get to a point where you're just so hot and so overwhelmed with like heat that you just feel absolutely miserable. And I remember probably one of the worst ones for that like miserable hot feeling was I did a I think it was five or six pound chili cheese hot dog challenge. And it was in San Jose, California, at a place called Parker's chili dogs. And it was on Man vs food. And it was in the middle of summer. And so this little shop had like one little AC unit. And it was probably like 90 degrees in the shop. And then you're eating this boiling hot five pound platter of chili and cheese and hot dog and meat. And I remember just being drenched in sweat just like trying to eat this and when you're hot. You know how even in the summer like oh, you kind of want is maybe like couple pieces of fruit and you're good. Like we're a small salad and you're good. It's it's like that so you're combating just that I do not want food. My body temperatures way up here. Yeah, that's not fun. I really don't
Nick VinZant 21:06
have any of these challenges ever kind of ruined like a food for you. Like I can never eat that again.
Katina Eats Kilos 21:12
Yeah, unfortunately, over in the Seattle area and not to throw anyone under the bus. I got food poisoning from a place called Sam's Tavern while doing a burger challenge. And they had a blue cheeseburger there. And I could kind of taste it. The blue cheese was a little off as I was doing it. But I mean, I'm in the middle of the challenge. I can't really just be like, well not gonna finish it. So I'll just do that anyway, and was kind of hoping that maybe I just wasn't hungry. And that's why it tasted weird. And yeah, I was very, very sick after that very sick. And to this day, now I can almost smell blue cheese again. And I used to love blue cheese. That's why I ordered it is one of the burgers But yeah, I can smell it again. And now I'm kind of like Okay, that sounds okay. For but for a while it was to the point where even just saying the word bleu cheese was like repulsive to me.
Nick VinZant 21:56
Couldn't even put that put can't even be next to each other in a sentence.
Katina Eats Kilos 22:00
And I believe that's one of the only times I've ever had food poisoning from from a restaurant challenge. So I mean, that's it's not exactly common, and it was very kind of just off the wall. So not to throw them under the bus. I'm sure normally they do a great job and I'd never heard of it happening to anyone else before it was just an off day.
Nick VinZant 22:17
What was the tastiest one like is the food usually good? Are they like okay here comes to eat or? No.
Katina Eats Kilos 22:24
No, most of the time it's very delicious. But the tastiest one I did was a very recent in Florida. It was a place called the ugly grouper on Anna Maria Island. And they did this giant seafood spread. That was incredible. And I love seafood but they made this big two pound shrimp taco with fresh, blackened shrimp in it and everything and it had this beautiful like crispy cheese skirt baked into the taco shell. It was beautiful. They did a fried green tomato topped with like a crab Romulan type thing that was divine. They did a Polynesian boat filled with blackened grouper. That was next level cheese logs. And then they had a lovely cocktail that they served with it. I think normal shrimp cocktail with it. And then dessert was a turtle cheesecake. And it was just every there was so much variety, there was nothing to get sick of it was just like all these different little things to taste and try and all of them were done. So amazingly, it was one of the most fun challenges I've ever done just for that reason.
Nick VinZant 23:29
You you've reached a level like do you have to do you tell these restaurants you're coming you show up.
Katina Eats Kilos 23:35
So it kind of depends. The recent thing with me meeting my boyfriend is he hosts them he hosts like events. And so he's got such a big following that, that people will come out to watch him like the man vs food TV show. So he'll get, you know, 5060 people there. So before that point, I would just kind of show up to a restaurant, you know, double check, they had the challenge till and I would just show up film myself doing the challenge and have the video and skedaddle. But with him, it's it's like a tour. And a lot of the times restaurants will reach out to him actually and say, Hey, we want to bring you in, we want to kick off a challenge or we would just love to have you eat this crazy amount of food for us. And you know, just get our name out there and stuff like that. So it's kind of turned into more of I go along that event line with him now and I don't think I could ever look back from that because it's so energizing to have those people live in the crowd. You're not just doing it for that. While the people on the other side of the screen will forgive me if I lose when you have people that are just roaring for you to finish and just so pulling for you. It is so motivating, like that Philly cheesesteak challenge. I don't think I would have had that. There's a point where your mental fortitude only goes so far. But when you have the crowd of people there was probably 80 to 100 people at that challenge just screaming for you to finish. You're just like okay, I'm going for it. It's like a big Superbowl event or something.
Nick VinZant 24:59
So Do you ever get in like, can you get injured? You injured your stomach?
Katina Eats Kilos 25:05
I mean, I'm sure it's a it's a possibility. And I believe it's happened before. And obviously there's always the risk of choking or something. But no, for the most part, I at least play it safe. I'm not doing the competitive eating type stuff where I'm eating like swallowing ridiculously large chunks of food very quickly.
Nick VinZant 25:25
challenge you felt like you were over your head. Like, oh, this is?
Katina Eats Kilos 25:31
Yeah, so in this video actually, it's funny you say that just posted and it was unfortunate. It was the finale tour. It was my final tour when we final excuse me restaurant challenge while we were in Florida, and we had a culvers franchisee that wanted to host a food challenge for Randy and I to do at their at their local culvers restaurant. And so talking to them, we were originally going to do 10 of their butter burgers with a side of cheese curds and then a concrete mixer. Which if you haven't heard of culvers it's basically like a really hard frozen custard. And then you have your fried cheese curds. And then a butter burger is just like a fancy kind of version of a burger. Pretty good, though. But we got there. And the the owner kind of was like, well, we think that the single butter burgers are gonna be too easy. What do you think about doing doubles? And my boyfriend agreed to it? He goes, Okay, we'll do it. I think we can do it. And so since he agreed to it, I was kind of like, well, I'll agree to it. And so I agreed to it. And the moment I saw him struggling through the challenge, I was like, I know this is gonna be so hard for me because that adding that extra Patty to 10 different burgers was an extra 30 ounces, which is an extra two pounds. Oh, wow.
Nick VinZant 26:49
Yeah, let's just say that, like,
Katina Eats Kilos 26:51
two pounds. And so and then they come out and you know, imagine your standard fast food tray. When you bring that out to you. Those were full of the burgers. Plus, it was a family size thing a cheese curds, which I believe came out to just try are just over a pound plus the concrete mixer. So in total, my guess was that was probably between seven and eight pounds of food total with all that bread. And then you know, meat gets cold over time as you're trying to eat it. And yeah, I had just done a challenge that I had lost that was just 10 burgers without the sides. And so that like the moment it came out, I was like, well, this is gonna be rough. This is gonna be real rough. But I gave it my all I just didn't quite make it for the finale challenge. But that was one where the moment it came out. I was like, Yeah, no,
Nick VinZant 27:38
no, this ain't happening. That's not happening. What's kind of your what's like your holy grail one, what's the one that you're looking at, and like, I haven't done this yet.
Katina Eats Kilos 27:48
But some Ooh, that's something that I would like to do. Who you know, there's a lot over. In like the UK, I would love to do there's like some really cool looking barbecue challenges over there. So there's a lot kind of overseas, that really appealed to me, it's kind of hard to pick and choose which one I would like to do the most because I kind of tie the location to why I want to be there more so than the challenge itself. I'm trying to think of if there's any sort of like holy grail challenge I can think of I've kind of already did the one challenge that was always on my bucket list to go and try even before I started professional eating. And that was the 72 ounce, big Texan steak challenge in Amarillo, Texas, I was able to go and do that challenge. And that was kind of my original Holy Grail. That's like something that anybody should just go in order just for the sight of it and the experience of it, they make a show out of it. It's only $72 if you blues, take it home and enjoy. It's a really good steak but it's they put you up on this awesome stage. And this challenge has been going on since I want to say the 60s they put you up on the stage there's like actual like official timers going like you'd see it like a sports stadium. You can watch them cooking the steak and like everyone's cheering for you and there's live music, and it's just an event. It's an event it's so much fun and I think that even if you know that you're not going to finish it just go up there and have fun. Sit up on the stage and just go eat some steak and enjoy yourself.

It does sound kind of cool. 70 pounds of steak that's a lot of steak for $72 that's not is actually kind of cheap.

Yeah because you get you get a potato on the side you get three prongs and the sides out
Nick VinZant 29:35
Can you just order it and then just give like walk off the stage and split it with your family I feel like that would actually be a budgetary decision
Katina Eats Kilos 29:41
oh no use you do sign like a contract. I think there's somewhere in the paperwork that says that you can't share it but you can if you can't finish it box up and take it home but there's no sharing allowed at any points when you order that you do sign like there's some small fine print. Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure I read that you couldn't share you have to take it home.

That's pretty much all the questions that I have anything, anything that we missed or what's kind of what's coming up next for you.

Next for me is moving to Milwaukee with my boyfriend. So Randy Santel and I are moving to Milwaukee and he's going to be starting his registered dieticians internship. So we'll be over there and I'm excited to try new food and kind of start highlighting that on my channel and just have fun kind of almost being like a little bit of a food tourist in that area. I'm also going to be going to Vegas in July for my 30th birthday, so I'm excited to go. I've never been to Vegas. So hit up some of the big buffets. I plan on visiting Hell's Kitchen, you know, maybe doing a couple restaurant challenges there. So it's gonna be a lot of fun. There's a lot upcoming.
