Starch Madness: Only One Baked Good Can Win

from All Of It with Alison Stewart · host WNYC

While most of the sports-loving world is paying attention to their basketball brackets, the folks at Serious Eats spend this time of the year pitting carbohydrates against each other in a contest they call "Starch Madness." And this year's bracket might be the most controversial yet: baked goods. Daniel Gritzer, editorial director for Serious Eats, talks about the competition, and listeners call in to defend their favorite baked sweet. Photo by K.C.
