...parents can Google their kids.” Despite parental disapproval, Mih enjoys his minor celebrity status. “People talk about you as if you’re some sort of athlete” he says. He’s entered competitions with pizza, jalapeños, cannoli, crab cakes, grilled cheese, and hot dogs. “The strangest food would be something I signed up for and didn’t participate in: pig’s feet,” Mih says. Every super-eater has his Kryptonite and Mih met his at a steeple...

Where sexual orientation, ethnic and family issues should be addressed seriously, another joke is made to relieve the tension.
