Michael Bauer, the San Francisco Chronicle's food and wine editor, as well as their restaurant critic, has just launched a blog, following in the footsteps of the New York Times' Frank Bruni and his blog. Bauer's blog is called Between Meals and has been up and running for about 1 week now. So far, he has included a list of the ten noisiest restaurants in the Bay Area (Town Hall and A16 are the worst offenders), following up on posts about the rising noise levels in eateries. The best part of the blog, though, is the FAQ, where Bauer answers reader-submitted questions about his life, the review process and about what makes him qualified to be a restaurant critic.
Will other critics soon jump on the blogging bandwagon?
