They do their best work when they and the other writers collaborate on a single topic. This award was probably given because the Denver Post devoted the most coverage to Julia's passing. However, the Post writers were no different than 99% of all the other newspaper food writers in America who devoted their writing about Julia's passing to describing how they met Julia. It was almost as if the food writers of America had a contest to see who had met Julia the most and was, therefore, the most important. The award should have been given to Erica Markus of Long Island's Newsday for her article Inspired by Julia, How the French Chef gave home cooks that elusive ingredient: confidence. She must be the most humble food writer in America, being able to write an article about Julia without ever mentioning that she had ever met Julia. Its a shame that the others couldn't have written about the real story - the impact Julia had on ordinary cooks working in their own homes.
