Any top anything list is by its nature a troll.* Even with a subset as small as, say, best post-SST Husker Du recordings, opinions will vary. That said, consider the Cod duly trolled. Via cinetrix, via Bust, the top 50 women in food. To speak plainly, the list is a fucking joke.
Having just finished Blood, Bones, and Butter, the which I recommend, and will write more on soon, I was curious to see how far up the list this trailblazing Beard medallioned and Bourdain adored badass would be. Not there! But her sister is. (Yep, me neither.)
If you caucused a bunch of folks waiting for a Cinnabon to open, you'd
probably get a more comprehensive list. No Ana Sortun, or Jody Adams, or Barbara Lynch, or Lydia Shire, and heck, not even a field entry for Bostonians who happen to have both ovaries and restaurants.
*Beginning the list by folding Streep into the Julia Child entry, and ending the list w/ Julie Powell makes me think the folks at Gourmet Live were trolling for Cod.
No Sara Moulton? Mary Sue Milliken? Susan Feniger? Our own grandmothers and mothers?
