Beaut pic Delights and Prejudices; hey, thanks! Our votes for the best food blogs this week are.... Best reason to visit Tiburon: to taste the cauliflower soup, octopus or tripe at Cottage Eatery. Bunrab's Gutenberg's got the goods. Or if you feel like hitting Berkeley instead, Cooking with Amy's post on an upcoming "global journey of tea" event may tempt.......

We had already been pretty fascinated with the growing trend of online user reviews lately. Then last week, the Chronicle came out with an article on "amateur" food blogs and restaurant reviews, about which SFist Jeremy posted an awesome rant, prompting some great dialog in the comments. This further prompted us to ponder how much online user reviews affect, and reflect, our own daily consumeristic lives....

We haven't really posted a lot on Shuna the past couple weeks, since confessing our blog crush on her. There are lots of Bay Area food blogs (close to 100 that we know about, and that's not counting the restaurant review blogs) and we like to spread the love. However, we're going to link to her a lot this week, and we don't feel bad about it at all. First off, we are in awe......

Happy Spring! Which means its time for Spring cleaning. While we here at SFist are all in favor of small rent-controlled studio apartments, we're not so fond of the small kitchen.

A new blog for us this week is Sweet Napa. She's attending culinary school in Napa and......

Two food blogs, Life begins at 30 and Locavores have been organizing the Eat Local Challenge, an effort to support local producers and encourage awareness of what is on our plates, by eating for the whole month of August, food grown within some radius of where you live. We find it a noble goal. However, our participation could be summarized in our nodding with approval, maybe saying ‘you go, guys’, then eating Dungeness crab......

Is blogging so pervasive that it will enter your diet and your library? At SFist, we belive so. We have a vested interest, with contributors creating excellent, beautiful food blogs. So we shoot the question to Owen Linderholm. Owen edited an actual book, Digital Dish, a selection of posts from 24 different food blogs, four of them from the San Francisco bay area. Owen also founded Press for Change, from whom you can order......

Sam Breach of Becks & Posh bravely opened up a copy of 7x7 magazine (San Francisco's answer to society mag New York Magazine) only to find her own name in it! Of course, 7x7 doesn't have any of their content on-line (for shame). From Sam's report, the article looks at the influence of online critics versus Chronicle bigwig Michael Bauer in terms of chef's opinions. Sam was nice enough to not only copy out......
