When you think of a competitive eater, we doubt you’d think this would be the first person who pops into your mind.
But there’s more than meets the eye with Kate Ovens and with a name like that, it’s like she was born to do these kind of food challenges.
The 22-year-old is so devastatingly effective at eating ridiculous amounts that she has a YouTube channel and a Facebook page dedicated to her passion.
You probably remember her from a little while back, when she absolutely destroyed a 28oz burger in less than 10 minutes. An impressive feat.
And now she’s back, taking on a monstrous burrito in the Belly Buster Burrito challenge at Mexican food chain Zapatista.
Spoiler: She absolutely smashed it. Kate managed to wolf down a burrito consisting of three tortillas, chicken, pulled pork, rice, beans, sour cream, and other assorted toppings in just eight minutes and 12 second minutes. Just, wow.
How she manages to pack away as much as she does is anyone’s guess and what makes it even more impressive is that Kate probably would have finished it even quicker if it didn’t fall apart halfway through.
Zapatista congratulated Ovens by sharing her accomplishment on the restaurant’s Facebook page, inviting her to beat the record:
Wow! 8 minutes 12 seconds!
And that was at a leisurely pace!
