Brooklyn Food Fight!As much as we enjoy the ‘Edible’ magazines, they are seeeerrrrrrious about food. ‘Edible Brooklyn’ is also super-serious about its locale. Endless Simmer took the time to find the summer issue’s most ridiculous lines.

Best This, Best That … We Say, ‘Who Cares?’
The year-end rush to give out awards has started in earnest, and two totally meaningless such contests present themselves to us today. On Endless Simmer, the nominations are in for Eater of the Year and include Tony Bourdain, Padma Lakshmi, some locavores, and Joey Chestnut. Are you kidding? Why even ask the question? If Joey Chestnut, having vanquished Kobayashi and established himself as the greatest competitive eater in the world, doesn’t get this award, why bother giving it? The man deserves it just for eating 103 Krystal burgers in eight minutes earlier this year.
