Food writer Mark Bittman is pitted against Lady Gaga over at Time Magazine. No it’s not about her meat dress. They’re both finalists in the Time Top 100 Poll.
The online poll aims to determine the 100 most influential people of 2011. Every home cook in the known universe has a spattered copy of Bittman’s How to Cook Everything, and if that’s not influential, we don’t know what is.

UPDATE:
The 2011 TIME 100 Poll closed April 14th, and unofficial results show Mark at #51, just above Johnny Depp and Conan O’Brien. Lady Gaga is #12.
The official Most Influential List will be published on April 21st, but will it reflect the Web-based results? Time’s site says the final list is “selected by our editors,” so why have a poll in the first place?
