The August issue of Food & Wine magazine is dedicated to the survey results from a 12-week America Online/Food & Wine magazine "Food in America" poll. The survey generated more than 500,000 responses on AOL's House & Home Channel (AOL Keyword: Home), where AOL members were asked to share opinions on food and dining in America. Respondents offered personal views about the quality of food in 20 American cities, holiday dishes, wine preferences, aphrodisiacs, food rituals, dieting, restaurant pet peeves, food spending and many other food-related topics. This is the first time Food & Wine and AOL have teamed up for a survey of this magnitude. Among the survey results: Who Would You Cover in Chocolate? Russell Crowe (46%) beat out Angelina Jolie (19%), Jude Law (18%) and Halle Berry (17%). Who Would You Cover in Chocolate and Leave by an Anthill? Howard Stern (52%) topped Eminem (27%), Courtney Love (13%) and Madonna (9%).
