For the second straight year, Miami New Times food critic Lee Klein has taken top honors in a prestigious contest sponsored by the  the International Association of Culinary Professionals.

His story, “Kick the Bottle,” beat out work from the New York Times and others to take the Bert Greene Award as the best feature story in a newspaper on Saturday in Denver. It’s the second straight year Klein has received the honor.

Last year, a story about feeding of chickens, “Eat Shit and Die,” garnered the same award.

We congratulate him!
