"chocolate jesus" news and stories

These days, food is always in the news. From canned food recalls to the folks who only eat local foods to the stars of the Food Network, we are a country obsessed with what we eat. It should come as no surprise then that the folks over at Endless Simmer are trying to determine, out of all the food celebrities (both those who deserve their notoriety and those who are riding on an extended 15 minutes) who is the Eater of the Year.

The finalists include competitive eater Joey Chestnut, the Berkeley Four who invented the word Locavore, daring eater and chef Anthony Bourdain, the very alluring Padma Lakshmi, a chocolate Jesus and former VP Al Gore. The question now is, who do you think is the Eater of the Year? Follow that link to head over to Endless Simmer and cast your vote. However, if you think that an important eater is missing from the list, tell us about it in the comments!

In a Q and A earlier today, Sarah asked me what three items I had my refrigerator. I listed Diet Coke, Perdue chicken, and Dove dark chocolate. I just looked again to see if I had any religious items in there. I couldn't find any grilled cheese sandwiches with the Virgin Mary on it or a nacho pan that looked like Jesus or hot chocolate that looked like Jesus. I also looked in my freezer and didn't find any ice formations that looked like the Virgin Mary.

But someone else has. In Morton, Texas, store owners and store customers claim they seem the shape of the Virgin Mary in the freezer at the store. The pic is at right. Judge for yourself. Personally, I think it looks like a giant hunk of ice, maybe something from Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

The Lord works in mysterious ways - and in the frozen foods section of your local supermarket.
