Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
KQED, public television in the SF Bay Area, has recently launched a new TV show that reminds me, in a
way, of blogging because it takes such an unusual and accessible approach to restaurant reviewing. The show is
called Check, Please! Bay Area and it takes three
non-professional restaurant reviewers and sends them to three restaurants to eat at and review. The reviewers each
must recommend their favorite restaurant when they apply for the show. During the show, the other reviewers visit that
restaurant and the other two favorites from the 3-diner panel. The diners gather back on set to discuss their
experiences. The show is the second of its kind. The Bay Area version is based on the success of the original Chicago
show, Check, Please!
To appear on the show, you must submit an essay-style application that includes a restaurant review and a mention of what types of foods you like.

WTTW is truly one of the better PBS affiliates in the country.
This show should be a hit there too!
