He explains that the challenge involves three quadruple cheeseburgers (a 'Chuck' burger, an 'Angry Chuck' burger and a 'Baconator') as well as 1kg of fries and 500g of pulled chicken - which he has to finish in one hour.
Remarkably, Randy is filmed devouring every last bite of the huge dinner - and says he finished the challenge in just 33 minutes and 40 seconds.
Explaining how Randy's visit came about, co-owner of Burger Boyz, Marcin, said: "I had seen Randy's post that he was touring the UK, and he mentioned he was visiting Wales. Being a follower of Randy, Katina [his partner and fellow competitive eater] and other competitive eaters for years, I knew how awesome of a moment it would be having any of them visit us! It's the whole reason we decided to do the challenges at our restaurant."

"The post of our challenge blew up on social media and got some other food competitors interested.
"Around four weeks before Randy and Katina were due to come, we had a surprise visit from Canadian competitive eater Joel Hansen – who was also touring the UK at this point - and the one and only UK's number one female [professional eater] Leah Shutkever - she also holds 27 Guinness World Records.
"They came together to do a challenge each, and both hold the male and female records for ‘The Norris Challenge’. Joel then decided to take on our other challenge called ‘The Beast’ which is a monster 8 patty (1kg beef) with 24 slices of cheese burger. So he basically ate 4.5kg of food in one hour and he did this with ease, which I still can't seem to get my head around!"
