Food Blog Round-Up
All right people, listen up! We've got a lot to get through, and reading all of your posts has made us more than a little hungry. We will not tolerate foolishness, so open your web browsers to page Per Se. We realize this is not a Bay Area Food Blog entry, per se (Yes, we had to. No, we're not sorry), but Keller is a local god, and this is one of the few real in-depth diner reviews we've seen of the place. So it gets in. Besides, it's not as if everyone else in the Bay Area food blog scene isn't travelling for food, too. Joy, Fatemeh, we're talking about you.
But fancy food--as Calvin Trillin has put it, "stuff stuff with heavy"--is so done as far as the food fashionistas are concerned. We here in the Bay Area are in charge of another food revolution, and if that one doesn't work out, we've got this one, too! We've also got salumi, which is the new cheese, which was the new wine.
A lot of you seemed to make hay over Beard Papa coming to town. For those of you not in the know, look at it like this: If Krispy Kreme is Microsoft--big, everywhere, the sign says the donuts are hot, but you know they've rolled back the release date, then Beard Papa is a Japanese Linux--the hot new flavor-of-the-month from a foreign country that's a little too utilitarian for some people. We here at the food blog love it, especially the chocolate--which apparently they're not serving in SF yet. But it's still May, which means we are obliged to tell you that you should still eat locally, even when it comes to sweets!
We'll sign off on a textual treat for the food blogger, a very silly post from Greg about overblown language in food writing. (And cheese.)
