Say hello to Miki Sudo, the top-ranked woman in the world of competitive eating. She’s holding a 10-pound bowl of pho from the Las Vegas restaurant Pho 87. There you’ll find the Phozilla Challenge, when a competitor has 1,987 seconds — 33 minutes, 7 seconds — to finish the whole thing.

She learned about the challenge one day in in 2011 when she was at a basketball game with friends who were passing around their cell phones to share pictures of the bowl and tell their stories about how they tried and failed. Sudo was not impressed. She was incredulous. She tried it the next day and finished it. She banked $1,510, and she’s still the only one to ever do it.

So began Sudo’s career as a competitive eater, and this weekend she’ll be in Fairmont for the Pepperoni Roll Eating World Championship at the Three Rivers Festival.
