Daniel's phenomenal TV show After Hours with Daniel is back on and this time he's in Miami. As usual, a great show as you get to watch some very good chefs cook and comment on the food world. One of the topics that came up from the Restaurant Michy episode is food blogging. Daniel seemed evasive when he was asked if blogging was good or bad, but the impression I got was that he and other chefs on the episode were quite resentful of the food blogging community out there. Daniel mentioned it's interesting to see which blogs are protecting or trying to tear up a place. Another interesting statement is that everyone all of a sudden is an expert, when their opinion previously was limited. Makes sense that some of the chefs seem irritated since it means there are more critics out there - and some being unqualified...unlike us of course ;) Great stuff and an interesting peek in the mind of the chefs.
Side note - Lee Schrager (Director of the Wine and Food Festival in Miami) reads food blogs every day. Hopefully, ours is one of them :)

of course they are resentful.
if you were being picked apart by someone who can't tell the difference between dry aged and wet aged beef, or between a pekin or a muscovy duck, you'd be pissed too.
luckily us dudes are well versed in meats and really that's all we talk about.
i can't remember the last time we wrote about veggies. it's like it's almost not even a food group.
