A Guinness World Record-holder and YouTube star "absolutely smashed” a huge and delicious-looking food challenge when she visited a restaurant in Carmarthen. Leah Shutkever is a competitive eater from Birmingham who has amassed a huge following on social media thanks to her outrageous ability to pack away incredible amounts of food in a short space of time.
She has broken more than 25 world records for eating in the past three years including the most spring rolls eaten in one minute, the most lasagne eaten in 30 seconds, the fastest time to eat a Terry's Chocolate Orange, the most marshmallows eaten in one minute, and the fastest time recorded to drink one litre of gravy. She also once ate 19 McDonald’s chicken nuggets in a minute.
On her trip to Carmarthen she visited street food restaurant Sloppy Joe’s in the centre of town. The venue is known for its burgers, hot dogs, fries, ice creams and much more besides. Since opening in October 2020, they have prepared different eating challenges for people to take on with more on the way in 2023. Leah’s challenge was called Man vs Joe and was, simply, to eat a large platter of food in as fast a time as possible. But nobody else has ever finished the same platter at Sloppy Joe’s.
