ChowDownAtlanta Gets It So Right

It started with a stare … tepid at first.  Gradually, a brow furrowed, the lips quivered, and the eyes turned on me … I had sinned.  Mortally sinned for that matter.  Her hand shot across the table and into the left over tin foil cone, the former home of my gyro.  Seconds later her hand …

Foodista Gets Cash, Organizes The International Food Blogger Conference, & Still Fails To Impress

 Foodista is back in the news again.  Last time I checked in, I wasn’t optimistic about the idea of a recipe wiki.  However, a lot has happened in the past few months – but nothing that changes my mind. To start, a group of investors from Seattle and Amazon have decided to throw away invest …
