Four speed eaters competed to see who could finish a giant bowl of ramen noodles the fastest.

This latest eating attempt follows a number recent outings by the model-turned-eater.

She recently travelled to New York to compete in a Fourth of July hot dog eating contest and even managed to sign a contract with Major League Eating.

Ms Zisser plans to return to America soon to take part in more professional eating competitions.
