by jbfauthor on December 14, 2009

cookbooks The deadline for JBF Book Awards submissions draws nigh: as glossy new releases fall on the doorstep every 15 minutes, our shelves are starting to buckle under the weight of over 250 entries. The stacks of spines offer subjects as varied and absorbing as ever: a tome on homemade cheeses; a pocket-sized guide to smoking techniques; a history of a certain worshiped West Coast burger chain. It's quite the sight to behold (and a temptation to neglect our to-do lists). Tomorrow is the last day we're accepting submissions, so there's still time to add yours to the mix.

Here’s the prescient article by our own senior editor, Cia Glover; check out the recommendations for top dogs in New York and beyond.
