Fat City On The Road: Can NYC Trump KC?

I'll be in New York City until Wednesday, discovering if the Big Apple can stand up to Kansas City, culinary block for culinary block.

I will not be taking comedian Jason Sudeikis' advice and heading out to either barbecue or Buffalo Wild Wings, but instead I see this as a chance to remember the joys of the buyback in a bar and what's it like to have a food delivered that is not pizza.

My favorite purchase so far has been the pictured bottle of Trump Ice -- natural spring water featuring a tawny-haired Donald Trump. The product was a marketing tie-in, featured on the first season of The Apprentice. It's a bottle that I haven't seen since 2006, which makes me wonder whether flat water can go stale. 

Although the Web site for Trump Ice is no longer active, you can see an archive page here. And even if the bottled water turns out to be tap water, it's OK -- New York City may be the only city in the country more fiercely protective of its tap water than Kansas City.
