Party of One, Please; Preferably at a Table with Good Lighting
Sure, the rise of food blogs has been chronicled in newspaper and magazine stories ad nauseam, but you know the phenomenon has really grabbed the attention of the mainstream when it appears in a Shoe comic, as it does today. By now, "civilian" diners are probably aware that the people making like Annie Leibovitz with their dinners are likely going to publish that photo on the internets. [via Off the Broiler]

About 2 years ago a friend of mine started wearing a shirt that said, "I'm blogging this." and it was certainly curious at the time, even though it was relevant given she had just founded our city's go-to blog/portal.
Taking photos while eating is absolutely common now, perhaps the uncommon is only when EVERYone in the party is taking photos of every single dish. As a reviewer, the practice has gone from a red flag to a good 'cover', frankly - because why would someone trying to lay low expose themselves like that? It's very handy.
