312315 Tue Jul 25 21:14:40 -0700 2006 129 33 Food Media and News 0 1766894 What's your favorite food related blog and why? Tue Jul 25 21:14:40 -0700 2006 15425 RobotDeathSquad 1 1767139 One of my favorites is Roots and Grubs, written by a friend who is a food critic/stay-at-home-dad in Seattle. http://www.rootsandgrubs.com/ Tue Jul 25 22:52:46 -0700 2006 1766894 10658 Atomica 2 4641820 I'm going to answer myself here almost 3 years later and say that Roots and Grubs has just spawned a book called "Hungry Monkey," published by Houghton Mifflin. Thu Apr 30 07:18:25 -0700 2009 1767139 10658 Atomica 1 1767579 http://breadbasketcase.blogspot.com -- Marie Wolf, a lawyer from Minneapolis, is baking every bread in Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Bread Bible. This woman has a terrific writing style and a great sense of humor. Wed Jul 26 02:29:05 -0700 2006 1766894 10644 Nancy Berry 2 1774741 Nancy, thanks for recommending the breadbasketcase blog. It's an engrossing read. Well written. Good photos. Sat Jul 29 01:52:35 -0700 2006 1767579 10293 val ann c 3 3642390 nancy, that is a nice blog. i laughed at the photo of rose levy berenbaum's cousins sitting on each end of the sofa, not entirely gleeful in aspect. ;-) Wed Apr 30 05:19:56 -0700 2008 1774741 105717 alkapal 3 3642449 mattbites.com is great food, humor and, of course, photography. check this photog site by the same matt: http://www.mattphotographs.com/ Wed Apr 30 06:01:05 -0700 2008 1774741 105717 alkapal 2 4780058 I couldn't agree more, Nancy. I discovered her blog a while back and it's both informative and entertaining. I make all my family's bread and wasn't familiar with Berenbaum's book until I found this blog. The recipes are wonderful. Tue Jun 16 21:39:37 -0700 2009 1767579 178560 SharaMcG 1 1767589 There's a website run by a lady on a travel board I visit (mostly re Italy) - she calls her blog Food Porn - it's mainly just pictures of food - here's the flickr version http://www.flickr.com/photos/42198533@N00/ and here's the Italian version http://realityfood.iobloggo.com/ I can spend hours looking at the pix Wed Jul 26 02:36:01 -0700 2006 1766894 12828 ElizabethS 2 1818879 Those are great pictures, I just wish I could read Italian. Sat Aug 19 04:27:45 -0700 2006 1767589 22930 rcheng 3 1839116 You can plug the URL into Babel Fish and it will translate into English, roughly. I love Babel Fish because it always reminds me of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" radio and TV shows, as my cell phone always reminds me of Star Trek. Mon Aug 28 22:28:05 -0700 2006 1818879 18264 steinpilz 4 4450282 I tried the Babel Fish for this site just to see what would come up, and it was hysterical! I guess that too much Italian food language is un-translatable. I love the Babel Fish suggestion, though, and I can't wait to try it out on some other web pages. Wed Feb 25 06:26:47 -0800 2009 1839116 34558 roxlet 3 3642400 rcheng, by the time you read the captions for all of the dishes, you'd know the italian language for food, backward and forward! the site inspires me to eat all different kinds of italian --- branch out! thanks for the site. Wed Apr 30 05:25:48 -0700 2008 1818879 105717 alkapal 1 1771855 Elmo Monster's Monster Munching blog: http://elmomonster.blogspot.com/ Thu Jul 27 21:20:49 -0700 2006 1766894 20287 ChristianZ 2 3642410 great food wordsmith! and the photos are excellent. you really know the blogger is a true chowhound and an artist! and the food looks delicious. i wonder what kind of camera elmo is using? Wed Apr 30 05:32:20 -0700 2008 1771855 105717 alkapal 1 1771876 megnut.com - Interesting opinions and news about food. (Plus Anthony Bourdain weighs in with comments from time to time.)

Sun May 17 09:38:42 -0700 2009 1771971 40486 Cinnamon 2 4360253 I"ve been reading Amateur Gourmet for several years, and find it entertaining as it has evolved. However, I find the constant references to his "boyfriend Craig" are becoming tiresome. Mon Jan 26 17:48:42 -0800 2009 1771936 102895 Cheflambo 3 4824659 I agree it is like so what your gay...it is not a big deal http://southernpirates.blogspot.com/ Thu Jul 02 10:22:14 -0700 2009 4360253 11854 LaLa 1 1771968 I rather like these two from local-LAish hounds: http://tokyoastrogirl.blogspot.com/ (she posts as tokyoastrogirl too) http://foodgps.blogspot.com/ I have no idea what sort of job he must have to be able to travel so much, but I think it's pretty awesome that he gets to!

Have you tried http://smittenkitchen.com/ or http://simplyrecipes.com/? They are not veggie, but the women have similar familiar and inviting ways of writing. Love them! And then there is my fall back food porn site when I am needing mealspiration: http://www.tastespotting.com/ I love David Lebovitz. I do not always adore his recipes, but most are pretty amazing and inventive. He also answers questions. Tue Jun 16 09:17:52 -0700 2009 1772842 137755 Sal Vanilla 3 4779512 Tastespotting and Foodgawker I keep on my bookmarks tab. It really is a food porn site. Do not view when hungry! Or at least, only view when hungry if places are still open and you can get there quick for something vaguely similar. Tue Jun 16 17:40:33 -0700 2009 4777670 40486 Cinnamon 3 4843680 I learned of smittenkitchen last month and was well, smitten. What a great site!

It's not a single food blog but a collection...slightly different. Tue Jun 16 14:09:51 -0700 2009 4777685 12421 hungryann 1 1775916 http://famousfatdave.com/blog/ I enjoy Dave's blog and am not even from New York.

Here are two that make me green with envy for all the food we can't find in the US. On Malaysia by a frequent Chowhound poster: http://eatingasia.typepad.com/ On the Phillippines: http://karen.mychronicles.net/ Here are 2 others I dont know as well. Thailand http://realthai.blogspot.com/ Vietnam http://noodlepie.typepad.com/blog/ Sun Jul 30 20:51:41 -0700 2006 1766894 11362 Brian S 1 1785672 Great pictures from restaurants in LA (but not much written content): http://www.potatomato.com/mt/ Great baking website: http://bakingsheet.blogspot.com/ Fun NY blog with delicious pictures: http://www.roboppy.net/food/ Thu Aug 03 18:15:21 -0700 2006 1766894 11885 AlwayzHungry 1 1789145 I cannot look at a blog with crappy photography, I just can't. If you're a bad photographer and a good writer, use those powers of description! Matt Bites for design, photography, and content. LA-based. Find the post on snails and you'll see why I was hooked instantly. http://www.mattbites.com StephenCooks.com: recipes, recipes, recipes, and great execution of design, content, and photography. Based in Maine, and the gratuitous references to lobster and other fresh East Coast seafood makes me dizzy with jealousy: http://www.stephencooks.com The Ethicurean is my favorite group blog. Their "Glossary of Terms" is very good reading: http://www.ethicurean.com/ So many good ones are out there. I vascillate between wanting sheer porn and really wanting to know who is connected to their food. Fancy restaurant blogs don't really do it for me: any rich person with gadgetry and the means can show up and take pictures (bad or good) of their meal. I like knowing what people do with good ingredients, themselves. Please do not take this to mean that I myself don't like to go to fancy restaurants. It's just that a blog comprised of nothing but that is nothing I would subscribe to. Sat Aug 05 05:01:49 -0700 2006 1766894 20837 soquelcalifornia 1 1795574 I love http://www.piedayfriday.com Frankly, I'm a pie-aholic, and it's very funny and has great stories and, more importantly, RECIPES for delicious pies. Tue Aug 08 21:22:50 -0700 2006 1766894 24551 chimericalbrio 1 1796612 At the moment, I've been reading NewsYouCanEat, primarily because of the comments. The substance isn't bad either . . . if you like Starbucks, ice cream and soda! http://tgubbins.blogspot.com/ TT Wed Aug 09 10:52:38 -0700 2006 1766894 19247 TexasToast 1 1815967 http://creampuffsinvenice.typepad.com/cream_puffs_in_venice/ I love this site! She's from Canada. She has the best photography. If the pictures stink I won't bother to read the blog. Her pictures make you feel like you can reach out and touch the food. Scroll down to the Rustic Tart and What A Peach on the first page for example. Don't forgt the archives. Makes me want to start a blog if I had the patience. Fri Aug 18 00:09:46 -0700 2006 1766894 18498 cuisine 1 1815981 www.sautewednesday.com Good writing and links to everything foodie. Fri Aug 18 00:18:10 -0700 2006 1766894 18635 lotech 2 2149348 FYI, an update. Bruce Cole is no longer working on SauteWednesday.com, as he is now the editor for Edible San Francisco. His blog, still wonderful, can be found here: http://www.ediblenation.com/ Wed Jan 03 19:29:54 -0800 2007 1815981 20837 soquelcalifornia 1 1817619 Thanks for all these blogs. Looks like I will never have to read a book again... http://augieland.blogs.com/augie_land/ He loves the "molecular gastronomy" stuff (El Bulli, Alinea, etc) and documents meals really well, so I can live vicariously. Great for helping me decide where my next $300 meal will be. Lots of typos. http://lunchfortwo.typepad.com/ Written by a friend of mine, food, travel, recipes, musings. http://eggbeater.typepad.com/shuna/ Nicely written by a friend-of-a-friend who is a pastry chef. Fri Aug 18 18:14:26 -0700 2006 1766894 16728 kenito799 1 1817899 One that I enjoy is http://kitchen-notebook.blogspot.com/ -beautiful photos and oh how I'd love that life in France... Fri Aug 18 19:44:37 -0700 2006 1766894 25921 uman 1 1821278 I stumbled on this one while on the Chicago board- his photos of the 24 course "tour" at Alinea are something beyond food porn.... http://www.skilletdoux.com Chicago based but travels a fair amount. Mon Aug 21 00:36:55 -0700 2006 1766894 19399 Miss Kittee 1 1821297 I really enjoy and live vicariously through: Tasting Menu.. :) http://www.tastingmenu.com/default.htm Mon Aug 21 00:51:07 -0700 2006 1766894 15394 bostonfoodie111 1 1822464 I love Looka! http://www.gumbopages.com/looka/ Chuck Taggart is from New Orleans and a lot of his posts deal with the city and it's people, food, and culture. He also just wants real iced tea, which is something to which I can relate: http://www.gumbopages.com/food/tea-rant.html He has an entire section of his web site devoted to authentic creole and cajun recipes. His red beans and rice recipe is one I use on a regular basis to rave reviews: http://www.gumbopages.com/recipe-page.html Mon Aug 21 17:18:50 -0700 2006 1766894 22081 mgarland 1 1823975 I just found obsessionwithfood.com Tue Aug 22 02:15:25 -0700 2006 1766894 22929 sweet. 1 1832158 Oh my gosh there are so many good ones! Cream Puffs in Venice, Orangette, Chocolate and Zucchini, Nordljus and Chez Pim are among the best and most famous. There are also specialty blogs like Meathenge (guess what it's about?), Chockylit (cupcakes), Eggbeater (pastry chef musings), The Wednesday Chef (cooks out of the LA times and NYTimes food sections each week) Farmgirl Fare (great stories)etc. There are great pictures and good writing on all of these. I have culled a list of my favorites on my blog, and of course I like to think mine's not half bad - though it mostly pertains to San Diego and is not nearly as slick as most of these. You can really lose yourself for hours! Here's a link to mine, which will lead you down the rabbit hole... www.aliceqfoodie.blogspot.com Fri Aug 25 06:44:34 -0700 2006 1766894 11803 Alice Q 1 1832218 Here are some more I'm into at the moment: Michael Bauer: Between Meals: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/indexn?blogid=26 NewsYouCanEat,if you like Starbucks, ice cream and soda! http://tgubbins.blogspot.com/ Good for London restaurants and recipes/ wine: http://www.jilldupleix.com/index.php Good industry news blog http://nrnfoodserviceblog.blogspot.com/ For those with a methodical approach to cooking: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/ Site initially comprised from materials supplied by Honors Students enrolled in a Summer 1999 Seminar at Washington State University: http://www.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/food/index.html Enjoy! TT Fri Aug 25 09:12:26 -0700 2006 1766894 19247 TexasToast 1 1835326 I really like Gutenberg's Daily Feed: www.bunrab.com/ especially because Gutenberg visits a lot of places in Marin where I live. The photos always make my mouth water! There are actually three blogs on the site, but Daily Feed seems to be updated the most frequently. Sat Aug 26 21:15:39 -0700 2006 1766894 11534 The Librarian 1 1838020 I really like Midtown Lunch. It's a great review of inexpensive lunchtime restaurants, with photos and commentary. I don't live in New York, but I'm constantly adding to my list of places to try when I visit, and I really like having access to a list of great but not expensive lunch places; it gives me the "inside track." http://midtownlunch.wordpress.com/ Mon Aug 28 16:48:09 -0700 2006 1766894 10490 saltandpepper 1 1838054 Here's some more good ones that weren't mentioned. Opinionated about Food, global fine dining with great pics: http://oad.typepad.com/oa/ Chez Pim, thai cooking and travel: http://chezpim.typepad.com/blogs/ Chubby Hubby, Singapore chow and good pics: http://www.chubbyhubby.net/ FoodPornWatch, a foodporn link site! http://foodpornwatch.arrr.net/ Mon Aug 28 16:56:58 -0700 2006 1766894 18264 steinpilz 1 1842410 I like Dessert First. Good photography, great recipes. http://dessertfirst.typepad.com/ Wed Aug 30 06:09:31 -0700 2006 1766894 24638 astroanne 1 1852636 I like www.thefoodgeek.com - very candid, somewhat Alton Brown-ish (in relating food science & trivia), cool podcasts too. I also enjoy Sara Moulton's blog http://www.saramoulton.com/ even though it is a bit irregular in frequency of postings in the blog. (Her Website does have a "kitchen shrink" section where she'll answer variou culinary questions---updated more regularly.) Mon Sep 04 05:27:48 -0700 2006 1766894 11949 AquaW 1 1856785 Can't believe nobody has mentioned NYCnosh http://www.nycnosh.com so far! It's gorgeous, the pics are fab, and the writing is wonderful. Best local blog by a very long distance. Wed Sep 06 07:26:57 -0700 2006 1766894 34731 gjetost 1 1859219 I like gastropoda and also gurgling cod. Thu Sep 07 03:48:53 -0700 2006 1766894 19161 jacquelinec 1 1859856 I feel inclined to offer some much due props to Robyn's The Girl Who Ate Everything food blog: http://www.roboppy.net/food/ Lovely pictures, frequent updates, and an exuberance for food. What more could you ask for? She represents us young NYCers quite well :-) Thu Sep 07 14:57:33 -0700 2006 1766894 15927 fascfoo 1 3495275 One of my favourites, which I stumbled upon purely by chance, is the Greek Food Recipes and Reflections blog by the Greek Gourmand, Sam Sotiropoulos, see: http://greekgourmand.blogspot.com/ The pics are excellent, the background info on each recipe is always interesting, the recipes themselves are straightforward, and the food is tasty! What more needs be said? A++ Check it out! Sat Mar 15 08:44:37 -0700 2008 1766894 174871 mnemonician 1 3508418 So glad I found Chowhound - WHERE have I been all this time?

Mon Jun 15 09:55:26 -0700 2009 4360221 88683 stellamystar 1 4361860 Also a fan of http://closetcooking.blogspot.com/ "Do You Know the Muffin Man" blog is a baker's dream blog Smitten Kitchen, Pioneer Woman Cooks--fun, entertaining, easy to follow recipes I also enjoy some of the blogs that focus on cocktails, spirits and mixology like: Adventures with Cocktails & Food Tue Jan 27 09:08:54 -0800 2009 1766894 36312 HillJ 1 4395729 http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/ new blog find that has me very excited! Sat Feb 07 07:53:42 -0800 2009 1766894 36312 HillJ 2 4438883 I love the pics at Nourishing Gourmet, but I like the writing at http://www.foodrenegade.com better. It's a like-minded site -- dedicated to wholesome, nourishing, traditional foods sourced from pastured/organic/local suppliers. In fact, those two sites recently joined up with some others to create http://www.realfoodmedia.com, which also looks like it has promise. Sat Feb 21 08:56:52 -0800 2009 4395729 268667 JohannaM 3 4450127 JohannaM, thanks for sharing foodrenegade. Realfoodmedia.com didn't work for me.. Nourishing Gourmet appears to be a fairly new blog. I'll be curious to see how she develops the topic. So many food blogs, so little time! Wed Feb 25 04:51:44 -0800 2009 4438883 36312 HillJ 1 4401634 One that I stumbled upon that seems new and I really like is http://thebitessite.com Mon Feb 09 13:46:22 -0800 2009 1766894 264949 mun1900 1 4438935 I'm sure you have a whole raft to go through here. There are 3 sites that only have pictures of what is on other blogs and a link to each. You can spend hours drooling over the stuff! tastespotting.com http://www.recipemuncher.com/ foodgawker.com Foodgawker and Tastespotting are similar but each has unique elements. I should note that in a little over 2 years, Tastespotting has over 33,000 entries! Sat Feb 21 09:19:11 -0800 2009 1766894 204342 FriedClamFanatic 1 4439673 I like C&Z, 101 Cookbooks, and Smitten Kitchen. I don't read most food blogs regularly, though- I go through phases where I'll read either religiously or rarely. I'm not a huge fan of food blogs are too... precious and twee. There are definitely many of those out there. Sat Feb 21 14:17:12 -0800 2009 1766894 183643 sfumato 1 4480310 This was my favorite when I lived in Korea. http://www.zenkimchi.com/FoodJournal/ Fri Mar 06 13:01:00 -0800 2009 1766894 23473 nearlywild 1 4480606 It's pretty much single issue, but "A Hamburger Today" provides lots of interesting (dare I say it?) tidbits about everyone's favourite one-handed meal, including the awesome burger made with not one, but two, grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches in place of the bun. Also stories about people consuming 5 and 6 lb burgers in a single sitting! It's burger excess and awesomeness at the same time.

Tue Mar 17 12:25:48 -0700 2009 4513132 202497 MattInNJ 1 4513144 http://bestbyfarr.wordpress.com/ This is a blog (not really updated very often) by chef/butcher Ryan Farr (SF-based) and has great recipes (although many are out of reach) for various offal and pig-centric fare. great instructions and pictures tho, almost makes you feel like you could make his pig-face terrine, etc. Tue Mar 17 10:25:10 -0700 2009 1766894 12656 bigjeff 1 4513586 I love reading anything from: Joy The Baker: http://www.joythebaker.com/blog White on Rice Couple: http://whiteonricecouple.com/blog Lottie + Doof: http://www.lottieanddoof.com Steamy Kitchen: http://steamykitchen.com/blog Phoo-D http://www.phoo-d.com Tue Mar 17 12:14:32 -0700 2009 1766894 226727 Phoo_d 2 4513625 Phoo_d, your Glazed Chicken with Porcini and Crisp Potatoes was killer-good! Tue Mar 17 12:21:33 -0700 2009 4513586 36312 HillJ 3 4513720 Did you make it!? We really enjoyed the flavors too. I think roast chicken is one of my ultimate comfort foods.

Thank you for testing the recipe, providing photos (which I really appreciate for when I give a new recipe a try). My family enjoyed the flavors and leftovers in a quick cook recipe later that week. I enjoy reading your blog. Tue Mar 17 13:16:21 -0700 2009 4513720 36312 HillJ 5 4515569 That's wonderful! I'm so glad it turned out for you too. Thanks very much for reading.

Tue Jun 16 09:23:33 -0700 2009 4547571 137755 Sal Vanilla 1 4554299 I just discovered this "how to" blog that was posted here on the FM&N board but seems to have been removed: http://how2heroes.com/blog/ It seems to be MA-based, what with the demos in the video blogs mostly being from local chefs and food bloggers. Haven't had a chance to check out a lot of the blog submissions yet, but it looks interesting! ~~~~~~~~ ETA: Having found a list of the "heroes" who have submitted videos/recipes, it seems that the contributors are from all over - local Boston chefs; NOLA bartenders, test food kitchen directors for magazines, and just people who submitted How-To videos. Tue Mar 31 09:44:36 -0700 2009 1766894 10532 LindaWhit 1 4698627 I read as many food blogs as I can get my hands on.

Tue Jun 30 06:54:08 -0700 2009 1766894 36312 HillJ 1 4838425 I actually think following restaurants, food critics and lifestyles companies on Twitter is much more convenient. I live in Tokyo and just started following Park Hyatt's New York Grill. If I wasn't on twitter I wouldn't have known Mark Lapico from Jean George would be cooking there. I searched on their website and wasn't able to find any information or anywhere else online. Not even on any blogs. It was only through twitter that I came across it. http://twitter.com/ParkHyattTokyo Tue Jul 07 21:32:11 -0700 2009 1766894 1091833 bkkelectro 2 4841579 Great point. There are some 'food trucks' in L.A. on Twitter, and they post their schedules that way. It's kind of a variation on the flash mob theme. (By food trucks, I mean we've got taco trucks, Korean-taco trucks, sushi trucks, organic trucks, etc. ... not sure which of these had the schedule I saw but I think several do that.)

It's a relatively old blog (2002-2003), with no photographs, but is an interesting read as Julie cooks her way through every recipe in "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child.
