"The whole idea of blogging about let’s say a new restaurant opening and really cutting down on them—if there’s anything really negative, the form of being anonymous and doing it rampantly is cowardly. There’s definitely a place for constructive critique, but every now and then you come across a review for a restaurant, meal or service that’s just biting, and that’s really uncool. I don’t see it too often, but if you have a real complaint and if you feel that strongly, I hope that person expressed that in the restaurant. You can say anything if you do it nicely." [True/Slant]...

We somehow missed this last week, and I kick myself for that because it's such a cool story. The Wall Street Journal has a charming feature on L.A. Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier and his nascent food blog. Mr. Ethier knows where to find the best throat-meat tacos in Los Angeles, the juiciest Salvadoran papusas and the city's tastiest Romanian chicken stew. He waxes poetic about the pinto beans in his native Arizona, where they're often pureed with cream and lard. "Here they want you to taste the bean, not the lard, which is... different."In June, Mr. Ethier began snapping pictures of the dishes at some of his favorite restaurants and posting them on a blog he calls Dining With 'Dre....

With Carol Blymire, first it was French Laundry at Home, cooking and blogging about each recipe in Thomas Keller's French Laundry Cookbook. Almost done there, she recently announced her next herculean task: cook-blogging the Alinea cookbook. MenuPages Chicago has a revealing Q&A with her. Will she be duplicating the quirky serving pieces chef Grant Achatz employs at Alinea? So, will I buy every single service piece on the Crucial Detail web site? No. Will I spend some time at kitchen stores and even the hardware store trying to figure out how to make it work on my own? You bet. Because finding a way to make my guests stop in their tracks and suspend the day-to-day noise in all our...

Yesterday I suggested that food bloggers using Twitter tweet the message #foodblogger, essentially tagging themselves and thereby creating a directory of food bloggers within Twitter Search. There are now tons of food bloggers showing up under a search for the #foodblogger tag. If you use Twitter, go have a look. Lots of new voices for you to follow. (More on Twitter "hashtags" here.)...

Randall Stross compared Yelp and Zagat in the New York Times on Sunday. While he correctly noted that Yelp now covers more restaurants than Zagat, and uses this as a launching pad to compare and contrast the two companies, he leaves out the most relevant points. Most notably, he completely whiffs on recent business goings-on in the world of user-generated restaurant reviews. My first question is what do serious eaters think about both Zagat and Yelp? And while you ponder that, here's what Stross should have pointed out in his comparison....

Vittles Vamp went to the Neil Diamond show on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, and she did something a little unusual. But something I can totally see becoming some sort of weird food-related photo meme. She shot a photo of the man through the hole of a bagel. This was Brooklyn-bred Neil Diamond, we were talking about. Damn straight, I wasn't bringing him flowers no more. The only thing a bona fide Jewess could do was add an bag of mini-bagels to her FreshDirect order to make sure she had something on hand that was more befitting this Judaic god of schmalzy pop. I'm going to have to bring bagels into the office tomorrow morning and shoot everyone through...

Tortilla Española, the classic Spanish potato-and-egg dish, gets a little tweak from food blogger Marc of [No Recipes]—this one calls for Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced Manchego cheese, and tomato jam....

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]...
