Boston.com's blog is called Dishing, and it looks like it's updated every day with recipes, kitchen wisdom, restaurant news, opinion, and everything in between. Some good writers are on board, including longtime food critic Alison Arnett, Sheryl Julian, and Joe Yonan.

But it needs to be more blogified. Sure, the posts themselves are fine and they have links and even some pics, but they need links to other blogs and a better search capability. I do like that they cover everything (even TV shows like Bravo's Top Chef), and it certainly has enough to come back to.
