Looking at other local food blogs
October 26th, 2007 by Cliff Bostock in Food mediaHere’s a roundup of what’s new on some other Atlanta cuisine blogs:
Blissful Glutton, probably my favorite, features a review of Asam House Thai and Malaysian Restaurant on Buford Highway in Pinetree Plaza. The blog’s writer, “Jennifer,” also reports on local restaurants offering specials that feature in-season white truffles.
I also dig Steakhead’s Atlanta Eats, although he doesn’t post terribly often. His down-to-earth style is a relief in a field that spends a lot of time stringing adjectives together. His most recent post explains why Two Urban Licks is one of his favorite restaurants. He compares the menu to a Bruce Springsteen concert.
Chow Down Atlanta features a great review and pictures of the Marietta Street tapas lounge, Utopia. There’s also a lunchtime review of Cameli’s Pizza on Ponce that inspired me to plan a visit.
AtlantaCuisine.com remains the city’s biggest online gathering place for foodies. Owner Tom Maicon’s most recent “pick of the week” is Voila in Decatur, where he found impressive beignets. Most of the action here is on the forums, where you will find, for example, 30 pages of commentary on Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and a discussion of the city’s best fried chicken.

Oh Cliff, ya know what I love about you? You don’t use your blog to kvetch about not being able to find decent bagels in Atlanta, etc…or not being able to find a ‘fancy’ restaurant in Atlanta (??hello…um…Ok,so Seeger’s is closed but I I can think of several others right this second)…or NY pizza in Atlanta, blah blah blah.
I wish other food bloggers had your fabulous ‘tude about the local dining scene.
