Food roundup for june 11

Here’s what was being written about today in the world of food and dining news:

In holiday news, today marks another unnecessary (but delicious) celebration: It’s National German Chocolate Cake Day!

And, if downing an entire German chocolate cake isn’t enough for you, it might be time to consider joining the world of competitive eating. Cafe Society has the details on an upcoming qualifying event for the annual July 4th Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Contest.

In booze news, Fork in the Road has some details on how to make strawberry tequila, but we were pretty much sold as soon as they said tequila.

And lastly, in another installment of Cheap Wine that Doesn’t Suck, Clean Plate Charlie is promoting Riesling as the unsung hero of the wine world. It might be cheap, but it demands to be taken seriously.
