but only if...

Earl 'Fatha' Hines became the star of Chicago with his Grand Terrace Cafe band and began to broadcast live from The Grand Terrace nightly coast-to-coast across America. Meanwhile in Kansas City and across the Southwest, an earthier, bluesier style was developed by such bandleaders as Benny Moten and, later, by Jay McShann and Jesse Stone. Big band remotes on the major radio networks spread the music from ballrooms and clubs across the country during the 1930s and 1940s, with remote broadcasts from jazz clubs continuing into the 1950s on NBC's Monitor. Radio was a major factor in gaining notice and fame for Benny Goodman, the “Pied Piper of Swing”. Soon, others challenged him, and “the battles of the bands” became a staple at theater performances featuring many groups on one bill.

You say that, but

Sulzberger Bay (77°0′S 152°0′WCoordinates: 77°0′S 152°0′W) is a bay between Fisher Island and Vollmer Island, along the coast of Marie Byrd Land. Discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on December 5, 1929, and named by Byrd for Arthur H. Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times, a supporter of the Byrd expeditions in 1928-30 and 1933-35.
The Sulzberger Bay indents the front of the Sulzberger Ice Shelf (77°0′S 148°0′W), an ice shelf about 85 miles (137 km) long and 50 miles (80 km) wide bordering the coast of Marie Byrd Land between Edward VII Peninsula and Guest Peninsula. The ice shelf was observed and roughly mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928-30). Sulzberger Basin (77°0′S 152°30′W) is an undersea basin on the central Ross shelf named in association with the Sulzberger Bay.

I can only conclude with

Cosmic strings, if they exist, would be extremely thin with diameters on the same order as a proton. They would have immense density, however, and so would represent significant gravitational sources. A cosmic string 1.6 kilometers in length may be heavier than the Earth. However general relativity predicts that the gravitational potential of a straight string vanishes: there is no gravitational force on static surrounding matter. The only gravitational effect of a straight cosmic string is a relative deflection of matter (or light) passing the string on opposite sides (a purely topological effect). A closed loop of cosmic string gravitates in a more conventional way. During the expansion of the universe, cosmic strings would form a network of loops, and their gravity could have been responsible for the original clumping of matter into galactic superclusters.

You win.

Cosmic Strings trump everything.

Apart from Crème brûlée, that is.

Crème brûlée (crème brulée in L'Orthographie 1990)[1] (French for "burnt cream"; pronounced /krm brule/ in English, IPA: [km byle] in French), burnt cream, crema catalana, or Trinity cream is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a layer of hard caramel, created by caramelizing sugar under a broiler, with a butane torch or other intense heat source, or by pouring sugar on top of the custard. It is usually served cold in individual ramekins.
The custard base is normally flavoured with just vanilla, but it can be enhanced with chocolate, a liqueur, fruit, etc. Sometimes the hardened sugar on top will be caramelized, by igniting a thin layer of liqueur sprinkled over the top.
