Culinary awards abound around the world, yet nothing quite compares to Anthony Bourdain et al's take on food awards.  Instead of lavish praise - there is that too, Bourdain and crew point out the flops as well, kinda like a Razzie in a way.  Read more about the nominees here via Eater.

Michael Ruhlman and Tony Bourdain have concocted The Golden Clog Awards (Ruhlman has previously announced as much on his blog), a quirky little awards event born out of "too many beers and late night yakitori," as Bourdain explained to Eater yesterday. The awards ceremony, or "awards ceremony," will take place this Friday at 2:00 PM in Miami Beach, as part of the 2008 South Beach Wine & Food Festival, which does lend a certain, frightening air of credibility to the proceedings.
