All month, we've been giving away loads of goods from restaurants and foodie outlets across town as part of Eater's annual Giveaway Extravaganza. Today, it's time to check in on a couple of winners. Last week found both a crazy pizza package from Mario Batali and a free dinner at 'wichcraft on the auction block. For the first, we asked for a Batali haiku or limmerick. The best submission:
If I could cook like Batali:And for the 'wichcraft dinner, we asked readers to create a sandwich based on a Top Chef personality. This one won for the sheer amount of time the contender obviously put into it.
I'd sleep on beds of farfalle
And get fat right away,
From my rocking sautee,
Oh how I'd stuff my face with guanciale!
