They call him Mr. Fibs

Want to know what others in the culinary industry think of the Food Network's Robert Irvine, the chef who likes to tell big whoppers??  (See Feb. 20 post.)

Well, Irvine was just given an award for his creativity with the truth. 

Irvine was named a Golden Clog award winner at Friday's South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Florida. He was nominated in the Cat Cora Category: Most Fame Based on Least Actual Culinary Achievement. 

Here's a complete list of the nominees. 

The "awards" are the boozy brainchild of snarky food writers Anthony Bourdain and Michael Ruhlman. The Clog is actually a spray painted Croc.

 Here's a link to live blogging from the event that includes winners.
