Fri, 09 Jan 2009 05:54:08 EST Hanukkah began Sunday and along with the holiday: A latke eating contest. Latkes are crispy, golden-colored potato pancakes often topped with applesauce and sour cream. Pete Czerwinski ate them with more latkes on top. The young man gorged on 7 pounds of latkes to win the contest in Lake Grove, N.Y. — that's 46 pancakes. He calls himself a "power eater" and says his brain never signals that he's full. http://www.reverbiage.com/launch/61008 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98585790&ft=1&f=1051 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 05:40:00 EST The Latin phrase caveat emptor means let the buyer beware. In New York movie theaters, the rule is caveat eater. Steve Kaplan was eating popcorn while watching the movie "Superbad." He chewed an unpopped kernel and hurt his tooth. He sued for $1,250 in dental repairs. But a judge says you can't reasonably expect every kernel to pop. So Mr. Kaplan gets nothing. On top of that, he says "Superbad" was really bad. http://www.reverbiage.com/launch/56578 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95204058&ft=1&f=1051 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 06:00:00 EDT When New York lost one of its top contenders for Best Pastrami Sandwich, foodies around the country went into a funk.
