Photograph from Donnaphoto on Flickr Here's a blog for all the discerning gum chewers out there. Gum Alert rates gums on flavor, texture, and overall gum goodness. I will admit that it wasn't until I saw this blog that I realized I must be a total gum noob. Orbit Mist Peppermint Spray? Wrigley's 5 Rain? Trident Splash Citrus with Blackberry? Who knew all these gum permutations even existed? And what does rain taste like? If nothing else, I applaud this search for the "ultimate in mastication stimulation." [via Neatorama]...

Cue salivary gland action: katsu curry from Go Go Curry in New York City. I have a friend who scoffs at my lifelong love of Japanese curry, backing up his distaste by comparing the brown, goopy sauce to the post-digested remains of a meal gone wrong. While his words initially made me weep, I later thought, "Hey, that's your loss; you're missing out on one of the tastiest foods in the world." Thick, creamy, spicy, and sweet, it's heavenly on rice—and perhaps with a side of tonkatsu. The people behind Americurry (aka my new favorite blog) know what I'm talking about. Wired blog editor Chris Kohler and videogame designer Karen Chu started the curry review blog to spread the...

The New York Times, which has been using the motto "All the news that's fit to print" since 1897, recently sent a cease-and-desist letter to Josh Friedland, proprietor of The Food Section. Friedland had been using as his blog's tagline "All the news that's fit to eat." Citing lack of time and resources, he's not fighting it....

There are many recipe blogs out there, but Feasting on Art sets itself apart by featuring recipes based on works of fine art. In each of her posts, photographer and food lover Megan Fizell deconstructs famous still lifes for an accompanying recipe and shares information about the painting, the artist, and the cuisine. Of course, there's also beautiful photography that mimics the painting she features and shows the final result of the recipe. You get an art and cooking lesson in each post!...

You can tell, because the blogger says, "IF YOU DON'T LOVE CILANTRO WITH ALL YOUR HEART I WILL FIGHT YOU." That's love....

Most food-blog readers are familiar with the cookbook cook-along blog genre. Julie Powell invented it with her Julie/Julia Project, eventually garnering a book and movie deal from it. Then came Carol Blymire, with a seemingly more improbable cook-along, working through a Thomas Keller book on French Laundry at Home, followed by dizzying new heights with Alinea at Home. And let's not forget Nose to Tail at Home, cooking through Fergus Henderson's Whole Beast. But Thomas Keller is exacting and demanding. Cooking from Alinea practically mandates that you buy a chemistry lab. And some folks might be squeamish about a pig's head staring up at them from their stock pot. Heck, even the comparatively more accessible Julia Child recipes are beyond...

Not Jason—just Ryan. Photograph from Grub Grade Longtime Serious Eats readers are no doubt familiar with the site Fast Food Critic and its proprietor, Timothy, who posts on Serious Eats as FastFoodCritic. After his full-time job became too demanding for him to maintain FFC at the level readers came to expect, he quit. That left contributors to his site in a sticky spot. They still wanted to carry on reviewing but didn't have an outlet. One of those writers, Ryan, started his own site, Grub Grade, and wrote to let us know he's picked up FFC's mantle: I'm still doing fast food reviews on GrubGrade and also from time to time venturing to local food establishments or fast casual...

Wow. Jeremy, a self-described computer and food nerd in Springfield, Oregon, started a blog called Cheese a Day, in which he makes, duh, a cheese a day. As someone who often neglects to make his bed each morning, I have to say that this is a mighty ambitious theme for a blog. Good luck, Jeremy!...
