On June 13, Marisa posted here with the title "RIP Tastespotting." The reason TasteSpotting was gone was unclear, but she noted, "Regardless of the reason, it's a sad day for the online food community."
If that was a sad day, June 27 was a day to celebrate! TasteSpotting, the hugely popular food porn site, went live again last Friday. If you haven't checked it out yet, definitely do so. We can all breathe a sigh of relief that our old friend is back!
I interviewed Sarah J. Gim, the Slashfood blogger who runs TasteSpotting, on Food Interviews. Sarah says that we can expect some site improvements to come to TasteSpotting soon. What about some of the TasteSpotting-like sites that cropped up in its absence? Sarah says that the food blog world is big enough for everyone: "The more food porn the better!"
For more information on TasteSpotting, including how Sarah picks all those amazing photos, check out Sarah J. Gim's complete interview.

Almost half the pictures you see on Food Gawker you would never ever see on TasteSpotting, and ironically they are just as good, if not better than those of the old wives club.
