I think it’s fair to say that the number of blogs that cover (at least in part) some aspect of the Atlanta restaurant scene has skyrocketed since I started this food journal back in December ‘08. In fact, UrbanSpoon has 190 different blogs listed on its Atlanta Blog Leaderboard. Though many of those are admittedly defunct or based outside of ATL, I think it’s safe to say that we have an active community of online pontificators, pundits, comedians, and critics.
As the space becomes more and more crowded, I find myself regularly pruning my data feed to expunge low hanging fruit and information I just can’t seem to find the time for. However, every once in awhile, I do add to my cadre of information sources. The latest addition is a site entitled “The Saucy Server.” [website/@TheSaucyServer]
As for the background on the site’s scribe, I have no information beyond what she claims on her masthead and her introductory post from a few weeks back.
- The Saucy Server is of the female persuasion
- The Saucy Server is a server in some unidentified Atlanta restaurant.
After reading her one review to date (of Antico), I can say she seems to sell her self a little short in her ability to construct coherent and interesting sentences. She also has a better understanding of food (or at least pizza) than she gives herself credit for; and, she seems to have a witty sense of humor (though she’s much more {expletive deleted} lady like than I am).
I’m quite curious to see how her voice develops. There is some question of trust, but as it stands … she sure as hell isn’t going to be any worse than those in this community that attend PR events and gobble up freebees like I do Krystals. And though she clearly states that she informally interviewed one of the employees of Antico, I’m not sure if that was under the guise of an interested customer. As a good friend of mine asked, (in the sense that we’ve never met and don’t actually talk to one and other except for once or 2x on twitter) Who Can You Trust? Regardless, she has something to say and I for one am intrigued and entertained enough to see what that is. YAY FOR GOOD NEW BLOGS!
