Endless Simmer - A Food Blog

ENDLESS EATER HALL OF FAME

Every so often, one of our readers, fans, or the people we stalk does something so remarkable that we feel the need to bestow them with an appropriately remarkable honor. These select few individuals complete accomplishments so laudable that a simple blog post will not do. And so these rare personalities are inducted into the Endless Eater Hall of Fame, to live on eternally in the form of this permanent page.

This celebrated chef is not merely a television personality and a worldwide restaurant mogul.  He is an Icon.

Anthony Bourdain: Making us hungry since 1956.

Does it make me just a little bit more of a foodie than you if I know that it’s spelled “bulgur” wheat?

And does it make me an ass that I bothered to post that?

And, now that you hate me, can I also say that this is a great new blog that I’m looking forward to visiting frequently!

With that fateful comment, the ES community was introduced to one JoeHoya. Fifteen months later, it is clear the Simmer would never have been the same without its star commenter/know-it-all. The first commenter not to go by a name like DAD GANSIE or BS’s Mom, JH made it safe for the masses to declare their love of Endless Simmer. But it wasn’t until he threw down some serious pine nut perfection that  JoeHoya earned his eternal place in the Endless Eaters Hall of Fame.
