## Caption

Erik Lamkin describes himself as a guy with a HUGE appetite that LOVES food, but his path to YouTube eating was not easy. Erik first tried a competitive eating competition as an attempt to overcome his fear of food and it proved to him that eating a large amount of food in one sitting wouldn’t change his body. Today, Erik the Electric has almost 2 million subscribers on his youtube channel tuning in to watch him eat and follow along in his athletic ventures. What is it like to be an online sensation for the very thing you feared? Is his struggle with food over - or is it an ongoing struggle that he must overcome to pay his bills?
