Welcome to Randy Santel's YouTube Channel!!

I am a professional eater living in Nashville, Tennessee, originally from St Louis, Missouri in the USA who focuses strictly on winning and promoting restaurant food challenges all around the world!! I currently have wins in all 50 states and 44 countries, and won't be stopping anytime soon!! I focus heavily on nutrition and also on fitness so I'm able to stay lean while winning over 100 challenges per year. I have the most food challenge wins out of all eaters (past and present) around the world and the gap will only grow larger.

I own and operate FoodChallenges.com which includes a full database of all current restaurant eating challenges available in over 50 countries around the world along with over 100 articles teaching people how to train, strategize, and dominate them all.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!! ‪@KatinaEatsKilos‬ and I just got back this weekend from a 2-month long tour that included Florida (Treasure Coast & Orlando), Norway (Bergen), Sweden, Denmark, and Finland!! Not to give away any results, but I have food challenge victories in 44 countries now!! Six more to go, to reach 50 countries total. Best of all, I filmed 26 videos during the trip, which will post in order, two videos per week, for the next 13 weeks, starting tomorrow!! Sexification 2024 begins tomorrow as well, to kick off my long break, and I'm excited for the initial weigh-in and "before photos." Thanks everybody for your support and I hope you all enjoy the many videos upcoming, courtesy of ‪@natefiggs‬ who produces them all!!

Katina and I are officially just Nashville, Tennessee residents now, since the Milwaukee house closed and transferred ownership yesterday!! ‪@KatinaEatsKilos‬ and I celebrated by going out to see ‪@BillBurrOfficial‬ who was hilarious once again!! It has been a big week, since my graduate school research courses finished up, and also yesterday I started serious weightlifting again, rather than just spinning (cycling) for a huge majority of my exercise time. Lots to be thankful for, and we are excited for everything upcoming, since we will be focused on doing food challenges in other parts of the USA and rest of the world, now that the Milwaukee home is sold. BIG thanks again to all our friends in Wisconsin we met the past three years, and we look forward to meeting everyone around Tennessee soon!!

Today is both a happy and a sad day. It’s Saturday, May 11th which marks the 3rd anniversary of me closing and buying my first home to share with ‪@KatinaEatsKilos‬ (without ever seeing it in person lol). Today is also my final day seeing the house, since I pre-signed the closing documents this past Thursday, and everything finalizes when the buyers sign on this upcoming Wednesday, May 15th. I’ve enjoyed my three years owning the house and now it’s all clean, empty, and ready to be loved by the new homeowners. It was great to meet everybody while living in Wisconsin at all the many food challenge events, and we look forward to spending the next few decades around tax-efficient Nashville, Tennessee!! Special thanks to ​⁠‪@MarcusMKE‬ (our Austrian realtor we found via YouTube) and his team for all their wonderful help the past 3 years!!

Happy Easter everyone!! I hope you are all having a great day!! I'm also sharing this post because it's wild how many comments ‪@KatinaEatsKilos‬ and I are getting these days, from people asking if we are still together. Here is a photo from last night at the Nashville Soccer Club (SC) game!! I've been in Nashville, Tennessee at our new house for the past two weeks, and I head back up north tomorrow (Monday 4/1) to get our Milwaukee house ready for sale. It goes up for sale next Friday, April 5th. Katina only posts 1 video per week, and we filmed loads of videos in 2023, so she was able to take 7 months off from late August until just this past Friday 3/29 when we each attempted 76oz steak challenges here in Nashville. Katina was in Nashville taking care of the house, while I've been up north filming more videos, since I publish 2 new challenge videos each week, thanks to all the editing help from ‪@natefiggs‬. I'll be doing more food challenges in northern Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan the next 3 weeks and I'll keep updating my website schedule page as events get confirmed. I look forward to seeing and meeting everybody!! www.randysantel.com/schedule

14 years ago yesterday, on March 12, 2010, I stood in front of a dark red bedsheet, feeling sexy in my underwear, fresh off a 7-day fake tanning package and covered in baby oil, ready to take my "final photos" to submit as part of the National 2010 Men's Health / Spartacus Body Transformation Challenge. It was the worst and weakest by body has ever felt, but dang I looked fantastic!! That 8-week period was my first ever true Sexification, and I've been into health, nutrition, and fitness ever since. One week later on March 19, 2010, I attempted my very first food challenge. Now that I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I'm slowly working my way back down closer to what I was weighing back then. I weighed ~220 lbs that day, and will maintain around 235-250 lbs once retired from professional eating and focused on all my goals as a social media dietitian. Last week was week #8 of consistently spinning 10-12 hours per week, to help manage my weight now that I'm back in-season. I'll talk more about everything on 3/19, but for now just wanted to say thanks to you all for the great support the past 14 years I've been on this long journey, and I look forward to the much longer road ahead as well!!

The moving is complete and now all the major interior work is finished as well, here in the Forest Hills area of Nashville, Tennessee. ‪@KatinaEatsKilos‬ just now has to do a little more decorating. It’s day #3 of burning all the miscellaneous sticks and stuff around the property. Let’s just say 1.4 acres will be a lot of maintenance!! Haha we love the house though, and I’m happy Katina won’t have to do much herself once I head back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Thursday. I still need to decide my plan of attack. Right now, friends in North and South Dakota, I may be seeing you all soon, so let me know of any food challenges available around you that y’all want me to try!! I’m open to getting to Montana as well. Thanks for all support and have a great week everybody!! The final challenge filmed in 2023 posts tomorrow and I hope you all enjoy it!!

Katina and I had a fantastic time these past few days, visiting her mom in the Spokane, Washington area, celebrating the holidays and some birthdays too!! I'm also celebrating the end of my Fall 2023 semester of graduate school through Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I passed all 5 credit hours this past semester and now I have just 6 more credit hours to complete. Then I'll be finished up with my MS in Dietetics which will be a huge relief!! I'm taking 5 more credit hours next Spring 2024, starting in mid-January, and then I'll have just one more class to take at some point in the future. The bulk of my Master's Degree will be finished next May 2024, including all the required nutrition research classes. Thank you all for your support and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and blessed rest of 2023!!

It’s official!! ‪@KatinaEatsKilos‬ and I signed for our new house yesterday morning (12/15) and together will be homeowners in Forest Hills, a small city with fewer than 5,000 people, just south of Nashville, Tennessee!! We have begun our family holiday travels and will be moving 95% of our stuff in early January when we get back!! For my future business as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and for lots of other reasons (less income and property taxes), we decided to make the Nashville area our new permanent home and are very very excited!! Here is a photo showing the new 4-story place with beautiful views from every major room in the house!! We will each do home tour videos in 2024 and will post more updates as things progress. I’ll still use our Milwaukee house as a home base during the first few months of 2024, so I can try all the available challenges I want before selling it. Thanks everybody for your support & lots more upcoming from us both!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone here in the USA!! Today, like every day, I’m thankful for all of you and your great support these past 13.5 years!! Earlier this morning, ‪@KatinaEatsKilos‬ and I participated in the Turkey Trot STL 5k with my cousin Leslie which was a lot of fun, and a great start to the day!! Afterwards, we all went to IHOP which is my family’s annual Thanksgiving Day tradition, which was all yummy!! Then we went to see my Grandma Santel!! It’s been a wonderful day so far and we’re looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner with lots more family members!! I hope you all have a fantastic day too and our next Belgian food challenge video will post tomorrow around normal time!!
