Bloggers in the News
Have you seen the April issue of Sac Mag? It's the food issue, so has lots of good culinary articles, but best of all--we're in it! Check out pages 172-173 for a photo of us trying to look cheerful under a sign that says, "Players and Loose Women are known to frequent this establishment." Says it all, doesn't it?
Also, Garrett of Vanilla Garlic has a review of Moshi Moshi restaurant in Davis on page 266 under "You're the Reviewer."
And if you didn't see this Sunday's SF Chronicle, there was an interesting article about different opinions of blogger restaurant reviewing. They didn't quote any Sac-area folks, but the issues are just the same. How much stock do you place in one reviewer's opinion? Or do you seek out several opinions before you decide?

OMG I wish they had told me and that I didn't learn by just randomly picking up the mag. I was so happy to see you both in there as well! Nice picture too!

I will go and get a copy today!
Loved the SF article. I loved the comments by the "Tanglewood" owner..about listening to online feedback. If one person says it..maybe forget it. If several say it..hmmm.
Before I travel, I always go online to check out what chowhounders have to say about a certain dining establishment..and I check out local online sources for area eats (like this one)...and for out of town eats as well. I trust the masses over one food critics opinion. I find that most online resources are fair when it comes to recent restaurant openings. We know they don't have their sea-legs yet.
I find online foodies, for the most part, to have very discriminating palates and I am sure most know how to make great scrambled eggs. Yelp, it's a brand new world now.. when it comes to restaurant/food reviews.
