Fork in the Road: We love you back!

.

The Village Voice‘s blog, Fork in the Road, just posted their 2012 Top Ten Restaurants in the East Village list and Dirt Candy is number 9. Squee, I say. And again, I say it: squee. I really love the Village Voice‘s food coverage, and Fork in the Road is a food blog that seriously attempts to do justice to New York City’s culinary scene, so this is a big honor. (And no, I’m not prejudiced. Promise!) No matter how you slice it, to be on a list with big name East Village establishments like Momofuku Ssam Bar and Prune is a blast.
