Yea, unfortunately bloggers have a seriously poor rep amongst chefs. They think we're all evil idiots who know nothing about food and are just out to criticize. I faced this exact situation when I replied to a thread on eater about Mario Batali remarking that he dislikes bloggers. It sparked a pretty heated debate both on eater and on my blog! http://www.strumerika.com/2007/06/13/mario-batali-hates-on-food-blogs/
