This TikToker Dished On How To Get Free Meals In Vancouver & They're Massive (PHOTOS)

She has won over 600 food challenges around the world! 😱

Contributing Writer

This full-time TikToker and world travelling foodie is sharing a few restaurants in Vancouver where you can have a meal completely for free. But, you gotta work for it.

Raina Huang, @rainaiscrazy, has gone viral and gathered over 3.3 million followers for her wild food-eating competitions.

Huang told Narcity that she's won over 600 food challenges around the world and has taken in some pretty large amounts of food, like five pounds of chicken gizzards and a 13-pound bowl of pho.

Although she is based out of L.A., it didn't stop her from having some incredible foodie adventures in the West Coast Canadian city.

While Huang was in Vancouver she hit up more than a few local eateries, including some that will let you dine for free — if you can eat it all!

Pho Kitchen

Address: 2915 Hebb Ave., Vancouver, BC

Why You Need To Go: Vietnamese restaurant, Pho Kitchen in Vancouver, will award you with a $35 gift card — if you can finish 3 kilograms of pho, according to Huang.

The restaurant will allow you 45 minutes to complete the challenge and you do not need to finish the broth, she added.

Of course, Huang blew this competition out of the water and finished with a record time of 13 minutes.
