Wednesday hotness

I will probably not be able to make either of these as I'll be in Connecticut for a family funeral (everything's okay) but if I were here I would be highly torn between these two events:

The 14th Street Y Presents:
KOSHER-STYLE COUNTY FAIR
One Cup Exploration, a Dash of Cook-Off, One Tablespoon Sideshow and a Pinch of Taste Temptations!

Showcasing artists and performers who will creatively explore themes of food and kashrut , or keeping kosher: from Kosher Sword Swallowing to Kosher Naked Sushi; from the first NYC Amateur Kosher Hot Dog Eating Championship to Confessions of an Israeli Hummus Addict.

Bring your bib and fat pants because Heeb Magazine's Food Issue, an all-you-can-eat extravaganza will be available, www.heebmagazine.com. Plus, a kugel cook-off contest judged by "Mr. & Ms. JewSA" 2006, Noam Dolgin and Ariel Woah! Hosted by the delicious Bex Schwartz with spicy jams by Adira Amram.
