TONY's 100 Best '10

I’m An Eating Sensation

So you’ve all had a few days now to flip through the latest issue of Time Out and their annual 100 Best Dishes article. It’s a good one, which I’m already licking my chops in anticipation of conquering. To get a head start on me, check out their entire list here. This year they’re also offering prizes and rewards for eating and tweeting your way through it.

If you read your Time Out from cover to cover, you may have noticed an even more exciting article. I was featured (with photo and interview and all) as being one of the four people to eat my way through the list last year. Four people? Well, yes. One of those people was Sarah, my girlfriend, my partner-in-crime, and my tireless videographer. But the other two were friends who were just completing the list for their own gastronomic enjoyment. They were very sweet and while I may have felt threatened at first, it was fun to share our ups and downs and learn that their journey was littered with just as many hardships as ours.

The article goes on to list our choices for one of our favorite list items (I chose the Wilkinsons from Henry Public) and little tidbits on our journey. You still have a few more days to pick up a copy in case you want to plaster my pretty face all over your wall. And if you do decide to do that, please don’t tell me about it. I think that just might freak me out.

And if you haven’t yet watched me eat every single list item, you have to check out this video right now.
