RSS Feed (for other podcast clients)
On this episode: Don Burtless of Buffalo Eats joins Phil & Kevin to talk about food. More specifically, food blogging, writing food reviews in a small town, finding your critical voice apart from the larger publications and experts, portion sizes, whether to include a numeric “rating” or not, and Phil’s problem with macarons/macaroons.
Got a favorite food blog, or a link that sums up your thoughts on what food criticism, on any level, should really do? Send it over on Twitter or Facebook.
