Yesterday, Marisa told you about the end of Tastespotting.com. Tastespotting was one of my favorite foodie sites. My husband broke the sad news to me and we were both in a state of shock! What would the food blog community do without Tastespotting?
It didn't take long for an answer - a Tastespotting clone has already been created! Phew! It's called Food Gawker and while it doesn't have all the features of the original just yet (it's only been live for an hour), it looks pretty close to me. Start gawking and posting!
A big thanks to Chuck of Sunday Nite Dinner for setting this up so quickly!

...but maybe that's what caused all the trouble with Tastespotting in the first place?
