Misel Brihuega: The Reluctant Pizza Hero




Misel Brihuega is a twenty-year-old college student with no discernible talents—at least, not until he stumbled into a pizza making contest. Misel had never thought of himself as a culinary genius—he was more of a microwave mac and cheese kind of guy—but when he won the local "Pizza Perfection" competition, everything changed.
