Edwin and Gustavo Win First Place in OC Press Club Awards Food Category!

I'm proud to announce that Edwin and I won first place last night in the food feature category at the Orange County Press Club Awards! Beat out all other local publications for our food issue last year, "Brother, Can You Spare a Taco?" Judges said something about our sass and food knowledge, although I'd like to think I'm the Lewis and he's the Martin of that food issue. And you ain't seen nothing yet: next week is the latest Weekly food issue, and Lesley's in the mix, as well!

One question people asked last night: is Edwin real? People have insisted over the years that Edwin Goei is my pseudonym, that there's no way a mere blogger could've risen from obscurity to being the chief, AWARD-WINNING (yay, Edwin!) food critic for a major O.C. newspaper. Sorry, folks: Edwin is real, and I have video proof. This is Edwin in his writing den...

Oh Gustavo. How hilariously fitting to use a Simpsons video. But I'm stating the obvious there. And thankfully Ediwn is real. And quite a lovely gentleman to boot.

Congratulations to you both. I look forward to plenty more good food reading. And I thank you guys for leading me in directions I would otherwise not have gone.

Cheers!

Woohoo!! Well-deserved.

I'm still not convinced Edwin is real. I have seen him in person before but only when Gustavo was not also around. Need I point out they both wear glasses and have vaguely similar hairstyles? That they have roughly the same color skin and eyes, roughly the same height, build, etc.? Clearly something fishy is going on. Or pescado-y.
