The Saveur 100

Saveur recently released their top 100 (foods, restaurants, drinks, people, places, trends and things). I was happy to see a few of my faves get a mention:

• Lady apples-tiny, "precious pommes" that happen to be adorable next to seckel pears.
• Painter Wayne Thiebaud (whose deli counter paintings hang on the walls of my home office, and whose breakfast table painting is the thumbnail I pilfered for this blog).
• Dessert-only restaurants. (I don't think this calls for an explanation.)
• Evan Kleiman and KCRW's Good Food was named "Dishiest Radio Program."

Check out last year's list too at NPR's web site.
