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. We don't half-ass the eating here, so we didn't want to half-ass Eater either. (So, for those that have been waiting, we thank you for your patience.) 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!...

Photograph by Jennie of Straight From the Farm Straight From the Farm is a blog about cooking straight from the farm, in this case the Weaver's Way Co-op Farm outside of Philadelphia, and a new addition to my regular food blog reads. I found this photo accompanying a post on how to dry corn. A couple other recent posts I've enjoyed: how to dry tomatoes and carrot "fries"....

Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has started a blog to promote his new cookbook, Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges, featuring recipes from restaurants Spice Market, Vong, and 66. He's only two blog posts in, and I suspect he won't keep it up for long, but so far, so good. How else would I have learned about cooking with a CVap?...

-->How did I miss this site after all these years?!? The Bacon Show which has been around since May 2005, promises "one bacon recipe per day, every day, forever." [via Matty]...

Regina Schrambling's blog Gastropoda is a viciously entertaining read. Here's the least vitriolic (but still pointed) item from today's line-up: At least once a day a news item makes me think of that old saying, "Figures lie and liars figure." The latest was the "study" correlating the incidence of obesity in different cities with the recipes run in local newspapers. I admit I have a dachshund in this fight, but really, can this actually be true at a time when everything you read says newspapers are going the way of the Walkman? Somehow I suspect fast junk, microwavable garbage and the obsolescence of walking have had more of an iPod impact than the most calorific concoction ever printed under my...

"Gabriel Garcia Marquez has a scene in one of his novels in which a man pushes his plate away and declares, “This food was prepared without love.” We have all most likely had a similar experience. In a nutshell, that seems to be what motivates local food bloggers, who write for love and fun, not profit." Greg Hershey of the Richmond VA weekly magazine Brick put together a round-up of area food bloggers. Some of them do restaurant reviews, others post photos of recent recipes they've tried out, all of them are making me really hungry right now. [via Veronica's Test Kitchen]...

"Welcome to the World's First Great Big Vegetable Challenge! Take one seven year old boy named Freddie and his mother as they face the challenge of turning him from a Vegetable-Phobic into a boy who will eat and even enjoy some of life's leafier pleasures. Join us as we work through the A to Z of vegetables!" Fred's mom posts photos and the recipes they've tried (some suggested by readers) and Fred himself rates dishes—recently he's given potage crecy a nine and courgette quesadillas a full ten, so he can't really be that much of a vegetable hater, he certainly seems to like them more than I do! The GBVC is first and foremost a fantastic idea but it's...

In Salon today, Jonathan Beecher Field wonders if the cookbook has passed its expiration date: "With the proliferation of clearinghouse Web sites like Epicurious.com, not to mention the enormous number of food blogs that spring up daily, any recipe you can think of is no farther away than the nearest computer. If, as of Sunday, Feb. 25, Epicurious.com serves up nine recipes for "Yorkshire pudding," and Allrecipes.com has 43 for "black bean soup," and Googling "vichyssoise" generates 265,000 results, who needs an all-purpose cookbook like "Joy [of Cooking]" with only one or two recipes for each of these dishes?"...
