Anyway, most food bloggers are pretty clear about what they feel are their strengths and shortcomings are, and only a minority of them say things they have absolutely not business saying…and these are not usually the popular blogs.

I think what is clear is that, in additional the to national media reviewers that everyone is familiar with in their own country of residence, there is now another source of information about restaurants created by restaurant-goers of all types on the blogosphere. Just as with professional film or restaurant reviews, you eventually learn which voices/palates you tend to agree with and learn what to take with a grain of salt, etc. The food blogging world was conceived quickly, with ferocious energy across many countries, and is still rapidly evolving. Sure, not all food blogs are created equal (neither are ‘professional’ critics), but there are some very good ones out there now, about all ranges of subjects (and often accompanied by amazing photography), and I can only seeing them continue to improve as this little niche better defines itself and continues to grow.

Patrick is right and I agree as a french man (best known for their cuisine) who cook and go to restaurant all over the world to taste any cuisine… you don’t need to be an expert nor to work in a cuisine world to give and share your feel and taste about what you eat or where you go, we leave in a world of freedom where people can say what ever they feel about what they eat.
I found this blog very helpful and interesting where the pictures are always nice and smooth.
I had the chance to be educated and introduced to food by my father as a child as a part of our culture, this is not the case for everyone and we should take the opportunity to learn from any blog or people to enrich or knowledge…
anyway nuff said for today and I am not hiding by an other name and shame to say what I have to say “world is rich by it’s diversity”

If the blog writer had said something like ‘I complained because my gazpacho was cold’ then you could legitimately say they didn’t know what they were talking about, But this is not analysing the inner workings of a jet engine, or critically analysing a classical musical composition. It is just saying if something tasted good or not.

Whether someone finds something tasty or not is purely subjective. There shouldn’t be snobbery in food and food reviewing, after all we are only having something to eat.
