Most importantly, Di Fara won for best "old school" pizza. Clearly, it should have won for best pizza all around, but that's ok. Shake Shack won for best burger, also a plus.
Then there were a couple of old Columbia area winners, which I thought was weird - Dinosaur BBQ for best BBQ, Absolute Bagels for best bagel... Do all the Serious Eats readers go to Columbia or something? Do they have fond memories of Absolute Bagels at KCST rehearsals? Very strange, indeed.
They also have a best cupcake section, a best pie section, and a best ice cream section (which was won by a gelato place, is that even fair? They're two different things!), but no best cookie section. Everyone knows pie is the new cupcake and cookies are the new pie! Seriously, Serious Eats, get on that.
The rest of the winners didn't mean a whole lot to me, but their pick for best new restaurant sounded intriguing. May have to go there soon!
What did you all think? Too foodie? Dead-on? Comment all about it!
