I love the website Overheard in New York, which features snippets of dialogue yes, overheard in New York, and often yields bizarre gems. But those of us who don't live in the Big Apple also sometimes overhear things worthy of repetition. Call it Overheard in Durham. Or to be more accurate, Overheard in My Living Room:
"Ed Koch! Former mayor Ed Koch in Battle Chopped Liver."

For those who like context: I was talking to my brother about how Iron Chef America hasn't come up with any non-food-pro judges to rival some of the best from Japanese Iron Chef, like photographer Tenmei Kano or lower house member Kurimoto. After some back & forth on political types who might make good judges and I hit on former NYC mayor Ed Koch.
Lower house member Shinichiro Kurimoto! I miss him. I also miss Tenmei Kano, who could be relied on to say "This is not a [theme ingredient] dish."
