Ian Hickman is a professional eater. The previous record of 17 was set by a regular person. Basil is just a high school student, with no eating credentials except breaking his mother’s food budget.

That’s a good feat your son accomplished, sounds like he has has the chops for the sport, but just so you know, competitive eaters are “regular people” too.
