There's a difference between being Ed Levine-obsessed with a particular food and being Mark Kurlansky-obsessed. Yes both are dorky but one is enervatingly so since the latter attempts to see the world through the love of one foodstuff whereas the former simply gets creepily into documenting and criticizing and tasting it. Raymond Sokolov's WSJ article The Best Burger narrowly misses being absolutely annoying. What saves it from his unfortunate propensity to wax poetic is the listing of a, to us, hitherto unknown burger joint way down south in Hotlanta. added on 2007-05-07
