Food Bloggers Giving Restaurant Owners Heartburn

crimeandpunishment writes "Call it the invasion of the pasta paparazzi. Food bloggers are so excited about sharing their experiences, especially at trendy, popular restaurants, that they're too busy taking pictures and video to enjoy the food when it's at its best. Many signature dishes come out at the perfect temperature ... take a few minutes to capture what it looks like, and your palate won't be nearly as pleased. Some restaurants have taken the step of banning cameras, or at least have established a 'no flash' rule. Others just want to make sure enthusiastic reviewers are still enthused after eating their food."

Shut the fuck up, and come back after you learn how to use complete words and sentences.

Hey drunkie,

I have no problem communicating literately from my phone. Then again, I don't have an iPhone. You brought it on yourself :P

Food bloggers are simply braggarts. "Look at me and the wonderful food I'm enjoying! Aren't I just precious?" This is the sub-text of almost every food blog. It's even more obnoxious than disturbing the fellow diners.

I'm a future culinary arts student. I'm kind of torn in some ways, in that I don't want to be an arrogant pretentious bitch about food... but when I taste my roommate's cooking, there just isn't the same level of dedication to the taste as with my own dishes.

Sure, I fuck things up here and there (I am still learning after all), but generally my roommates produce bland dishes, or have processed food that only has taste because they've over salted it, over sweetened it, or whatever.

Wait, do you seriously blog about how your roommate's cooking is not as good as yours, mostly because of your "level of dedication", being a culinary arts student?

No, I do not blog about my roommate's cooking. But I do blog about what I have cooked.
