Eater Chicago isn't happening. Which makes us all a little sad—in some ways. All the news of openings and closings and comings and goings would have been well-handled by the Eater formula. An Eater site would have been a sort of recognition that Chicago had truly made it as a food city. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. So, aside from our own regular coverage of Chicago eats, we wanted to list some of our favorite Chicago food blogs. Hungry Magazine: Serious Eats contributor Mike Nagrant helms this bona fide food magazine. He and his contributors update daily with a new review, think piece, recipe, or food memoir, always accompanied by great photographyMenuPages Chicago: Edited by Helen Rosner, this aggressively...

The folks behind New York's restaurant-obsessed blog Eater have planted a flag in San Francisco with Eater SF: It's taken us a while a to get here, in part because, we'll be frank, San Francisco is a serious place when it comes to restaurants.

The site's editor is Paolo Lucchesi, who, it seems until recently, served as editor of Menupages SF. Eater SF follows the debut earlier this year of Eater LA. Good luck, break a leg, and bon appétit!...

Last week saw the launch of Eater LA, sister site to NYC-based Eater. Hitting the ground running, the LA version has already rolled out many of the features that make the original so damn entertaining: "Oh what a fun packed week we've had! Not only did we officially launch, but we gave you a taste of several good things to come, including The Dish, The Deathwatch, The Mail Bag, and now… drum roll please… Plywood Reports! With Plywood, we offer news on restaurants that haven't quite made it to their soft openings yet. Seen something brewing in your neighborhood? Email along your report; bonus points for attaching digital photos." la.eater.com eater.com...
