Last night’s Simpson’s episode, “The Food Wife”, had Marge, Lisa, and Bart blogging about food (including the best places to eat in Springfield).
The episode was jam-packed with foodie references, including a don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-it sequence where almost every chef in the world is bouncing around in Singapore — from Mario Batali to Guy Fieri to the Swedish Chef.
We also loved Lisa Simpson’s list of cutest vegetarians, which included Paul McCartney, Russell Brand, and Edward Cullen (Twilight’s dreamy vegetarian vampire).

- Lisa gives some love to Sir Paul tonight on The Simpsons. (And don’t worry, she never eats meat.)
Selman also retweeted a message from Food Network host Alton Brown (who was one of the only food celebrities not featured in the episode):
- The Simpsons are dead to me.
