</ul></div>    <div class="content"><p>I love to eat. Ok, let me clarify that â€“ I love to eat good food. Today while savoring the Sunday NY Times Style section, I saw an article of blogging interest, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/04/fashion/04bloggers.html?_r=1&oref=slogin"> Sharp Bites.</a> Exploring how restaurant critics (or the more likely case on blogs, people like me who just love to eat out and sample new venues) are blogging their way into internet fame; "hundreds of thousands of hits" it what one blog got after it started posting a comical <a href="http://www.amateurgourmet.com/the_amateur_gourmet/2004/02/janet_jackson_b.html"> recipe </a> for cupcakes that resembled Janet Jackson's bare breast at the Super Bowl. </p>
<p>I am interested in how the blogs critiquing food and restaurants are able to be more open, more honest, and more vicious (??) with their comments. We talked about the emergence of more opinionated political writing in the blogosphere, and I think you'll agree with me that food critiques on blogs are la mÃªme chose. </p>
<p>What does this upsurge in food bloggers do to reputation of restaurants? I recently dined at a hole-in-the wall sushi place outside L.A. . . . I consider myself to be a sushi expert (having traveled to Japan and consumed mass amounts of the delicious food there and at good sushi joints elsewhere) and what I tasted at this particular restaurant was absolutely sickening. However, a blog I found congratulated this very restaurant on serving "sushi that even sushi haters will love." Hmmm, where's the truth there?!</p>
