Who wins the Super Bowl of Food:

Who wins the Super Bowl of Food: New York City or Boston? Ed Levine says it’s no contest: New York all the way.

What has Boston bestowed upon us, foodwise? Brown bread, baked beans, Boston cream pie, and Parker House rolls. Pretty slim pickins’, don’t you think? How far would you go out of your way for some baked beans or some brown bread? I’d only go a block or two at the most. Now if you expanded the geographic food purview of the Patriots to all of New England, that might be an interesting discussion, because then New England clam chowder, lobster rolls, and fried clams would enter into the fray.

Ed’s a bit hard on Boston here…there’s some excellent food to be found in the city and its surrounds.
