About Me:
I'm a 5'2 former women's physique bodybuilder on a mission to sample delicious foods from around the world! I tackle restaurant challenges, sample new food menus, and explore the unique eats in various cities.

I hope you'll join me at my table!

I think the discrepancy of how many kilos of rice you were given comes from weighing it before it was cooked, as when it's cooked it becomes much heavier and voluminous. So if they weighed out 1.5 kg of uncooked rice, what you were given was really closer to 4.5 kg of cooked rice!

[@BrianBorges-ez3ls]

Yes, you speak truth! Rice is a totally deceptive beyotch!😂

[@thesuncollective1475]

Agreed...1.5kg plus water..that's naughty

[@maryabbott5005]

Agreed 💯👌👌 I was saying Riiight..NOT..DEF language Snafooo regarding dry vs. Cooked weights of rice 4 SURE!!!😵‍💫

[@stephenanthony3094]

That's insane. I don't understand why restaurants will have eating challenges but make it impossible for the competitor to complete the challenge. That was WAAAAAY too much rice for any human to consume. You're still a champ, Katina.

[@irenecastillo4161]

I agree LOL

It's nice when they acknowledge that the challenge was off and correct it. That's a W in my books. ❤

You’re always a joy to watch. You’re so friendly and kind to everyone. It’s not wonder your channel is popular. Love who you are! And this seemed like a rough one. All that rice made my stomach hurt just looking at it! You’re the best! Have you ever gone to New Zealand? Italy?! It’s wild how your passion has taken you around the world! Always a fan!!!!❤

The chef who brought out your food has the most adorable smile ❤

[@sarahl108]

The amount of rice in that was insane!!!

[@MadChiller]

It appears that even soy sauce (the ketchup of Cambodia) couldn’t help Katina finish all that rice. At least y’all had some fun there trying all the different and never eaten before choices in that ginormous bowl! Excellent attempt my friend. Take care, Katina. Peace out, Chad ✌🏻 😊

[@KatinaEatsKilos]

Ketchup of Cambodia haha - that gets me 😂

[@EmxlyKxte]

Love seeing you do what you love in all of these amazing places. Go Katina ❤

[@KatinaEatsKilos]

Thank you so much!

[@Marylily2]

That rice looked very dry, even with the soy sauce. Along with the fact that you literally just did a huge challenge the night before, as well as the fact that you were given nearly 5kg of rice, I think you did bloody well! It truly wasn’t your fault, but you were kind of set up for failure from the get go. It’s really nice that they gave you the meal on the house though!

Cambodian technology is very advanced. They’ve clearly mastered infinitely regenerating rice. Wonder how it stacks up to endless mountain of fries in US challenges…

[@deathcrunch9020]

You mean lying and cheating until they were forced to weight it?

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

#RandomThought: I would love to see Katina have her own show on the Food Network where they pay her to go all over the world and do these challenges. I say that because she is one of very few people who are not only enjoyable and relatable to watch, but she does an EXCELLENT, Bobby Flay level commentary as to how the food tastes. Katina makes me feel like I'm there, and that would make a great Food Network show. 🤗

[@qreeneyez916]

I agree ❤

[@bodyofhope]

They did that with Man vs. Food and he doesn't have great things to say about the experience in retrospect. I'd hate for her to hurt herself for a paycheck when she's currently her own boss. And she can choose her meals and travel along with her bf.

[@AngelaLRsurfinginstilettos]

Oh goodness, that is many servings of rice. Yes, it digests easily but it also fills you up quickly prior to. This makes it somewhat difficult to eat extremely large portions in a short time-frame. Also, it's not as if you are eating one portion serving of anything in your challenges, it's not even two servings...additionally, you did a huge food challenge the evening prior to. So, you were not able to fully recover and digest as you normally would. You made an incredible effort Katina; what you are doing is not remotely easy for anyone, and you shatter so many of these enormous challenges. Be immensely proud of your accomplishments and you attempts, equally. You do it all with class, humility, respect and outstanding sportsmanship. Onward and upward! 🙂👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@BrianBorges-ez3ls]

Hey Katina! OMG! Yet another ginormous platter!😂❤ As a proud Canadian, I totally "Eye-of-Sauroned" on the beer!😛 OMG, Katina! You're gonna need a bigger fork!...People!
