Randy Santel, the US TikTok and YouTube star, takes on huge 3.5kg eating challenge at Port Talbot’s Burger Boyz

One of social media's most popular "professional eaters" swung by a Welsh burger bar - and absolutely devoured the monster eating challenge staff gave him! Randy Santel, who has more than 1.1m followers on TikTok and over 1.5m subscribers on YouTube, hails from Missouri in the US but has fans all around the world who delight in watching him travel far and wide taking on huge food challenges at a wide range of cafes, restaurants and bars.

Randy, who is also the founder and owner of FoodChallenges.com, was in the UK last year and, being huge fans of his, the owners of Burger Boyz in Port Talbot contacted him to invite him to their restaurant in Commercial Road and challenged him to take on three quadruple burgers and huge portions of fries and halloumi fries - known as The Norris Challenge.

Randy has since shared a video of his visit to the restaurant - and it's been viewed more than 640,000 times on TikTok in just a week and more than 465,000 times on YouTube in just a month.
