100 Plates of Sushi in 35 Minutes
In these challenges, she includes tasks such as consuming 100 plates of sushi in 35 minutes and eating a 17-pound steak in 70 minutes. She has been engaged in this profession for the past 10 years, traveling domestically and internationally, and has earned approximately $30,000 (25 lakh rupees) solely by eating. In her most recent victory in Los Angeles, Raina consumed nearly 100 momos in 10 minutes, winning a prize of $1,000. Additionally, during her recent trip to Asia, including Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam, Raina participated in a challenge where she had to eat sushi in an amount equivalent to her height of 5 feet 2 inches – which was 108 plates. She successfully completed this challenge in just 35 minutes.
All Thanks to the Passion for Video Games
Raina has shared details about these challenges on TikTok and YouTube. Speaking about her unique profession, Raina, from Walnut, Los Angeles, California, USA, said, “I have eaten a lot and eaten quickly throughout my life, and it has now become easy. I think it’s because of my love for video games. In my childhood, I used to eat quickly while playing video games. Now, I go to restaurants almost every day and take on challenges. It has become my full-time job, and I am very happy that I can do this.”
Consumed a 4-Pound Burrito in Just Six Minutes
Ten years ago, before starting all of this, Raina attempted various jobs, including Twitch streaming and singing. She explained further, “I tried to be a part of the entertainment industry because I wanted to be an actor and a singer. I even attempted game streaming on Twitch.” However, when I was working as a chef, one day someone challenged me to eat a food challenge, and I consumed a 4-pound burrito in six minutes. Someone recorded me doing this, and the video went viral. I thought, ‘Oh God, people enjoy watching me eat.’ After that, I started taking on these challenges, and the money from winning started pouring in.
