[UA] A Movable Feast

[Young Han C. Lester]

The whole time I read through this, I tried to figure out what archetype he 
embodied. As far as I can tell, he's been an outsider many times- first for 
his heritage, then for his puffer-fish shenanigans, and now for his Xtreme 
Cuisine. Maybe this points to his status as the Pariah, perhaps reinventing 
the archetype to embody the Blatant Pariah who flaunts taboos but is allowed 
to continue existing because something he offers or embodies suits, benefits 
or pleases those who society idolizes.

Also, when I posted this to my blog, someone expressed a desire that I had 
warned them of this, but I hate to spoil it, so I'll give some scroll space:

Near the end of the article, it's revealed that Chef Kaz has engaged in 
cannibalism, primarily involving illegal immigrants selling their arms, 
kidneys and bits of their livers for money. His dream is to cook an entire 
Mexican, possibly a baby sold to him by a desperate mother.
