Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
But don't feel left out, he probably hates you too! If you run a food blog, that is.
Yeah, the chef doesn't like food blogs. He says he doesn't usually hate anything, but food blogs "live by different rules," as he explains. He's ticked that food bloggers are too snarky and hide behind an anonymous name or alias. That's not true with most of the food blogs that I happen to read, but whatever. Batali does indeed have some good points about blogging though, not just food blogs but blogging and journalism in general. He even gets in a dig at the people who published the essay.
And where does he publish this essay? On a food blog, of course.

However, there are some fantastic, progressive sites out there that can't be lumped into some stereotypical mass.
What I find most amusing is I think Batali puts his foot in his mouth-- he dislikes how food blogs can turn into unidentified people dishing up snarky, personal commentary, yet it is practically what he duped into creating with his own post.
He ends up not even really talking about food, but rather defending the restaurant and entering into the conversation/atmosphere he, apparently, hates so much. How silly.
