Amazing eating!
It’s Saturday 28 August and I’m talking to Ben Dawkins. He travels around the USA and enters amazing food
competitions, for example you must eat hot chillies or to eat five hamburgers in an hour. We are in a restaurant
in Florida.

A I am in this restaurant for their big food competition. I must eat ten hamburgers in thirty minutes!
B I love most food, but I really love hamburgers. And pasta too! I don’t like eating sweet things like
chocolate or fruit.
C No, it’s not! It is difficult to eat lots of food in a short time.
D There are lots of people! I think there are about 200 people in this restaurant. They are all watching me!
Some people follow me to all the competitions I am in.
E There are two reasons. The first one is because I love food and the second is because I am on TV.
It’s my job!
