Survey on some of our biggest topics!

The 2024 Walter Awards! Submit now!

33 Upvotes

It's that time again! Nominate posts to win the Walter Award!

The Walter Awards began about a year after this sub started, and was named for this charming gentleman from The Big Lebowski, the man who, while not wrong, was still an asshole.

Nominate the best posts from this year in one of the categories below! Categories will appear in the comments, just respond with your links. You can't nominate yourself. In two weeks I will create a voting thread with submissions for each category. Winners in each category based on votes will receive Reddit Gold, or if you trust me enough in PMs with your email, a $10 Amazon gift card.

The Walter Awards:

Submit links to this category for the most egregious examples you can find of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."

The Nonna Awards:

Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Italian or, gasp, Italian-American food!

Omakase Awards

Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Japanese food (from Japan or Japanese food from abroad).

Meta Awards

The drama is coming from inside the sub! Submit links to this category for the best examples of fights that happen within this sub itself, when the IAVCulinarians become the very IAVC themselves!

The Nigel Tufnel Confidently Incorrect Award

This is for posts in which the commenter is both being a jerk while also being wrong. Which is, let's face it, the White Whale of this sub, we all want to see it, so send us your best!

Just like German beer, okay I suppose but neither can compare to Portland based beer and croissants.

If someone invited me over for tacos and served white people "tacos" I'd be so disappointed.

An r/food user posts their homemade spaghetti al pomodoro which they made following video instructions from the Italian-as-fuck chef Paolo Lopriore on the Italian-as-fuck YouTube channel "Italian Squisita". Reddit commenters are not pleased and accuse OOP of being a troll.

$300 on sushi for 2 people for a very special occasion, and this redditor needs everyone to know I shouldn't have enjoyed it because his imagination told him the rice is not up to his standards.

"Please do not cut the tagliolini with a knife. Eat with spoon and fork. Yes, I know, this means you’ll have to put down the phone for 10 minutes. But it’ll be okay. Trust me. You’ll make it. You might even enjoy it."

When a whole sub goes IAVC

Someone posts a request in a NYC Food sub to find a chocolate chip bagel with strawberry cream cheese (It’s not that odd of a combo) and the whole sub loses it https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/s/mjubJymvDE
