You missed one! My blog http://www.hotdishreview.com is a baby, officially started on 9/6. However, I have been writing food articles for Atlanta’s Finest Dining for a couple of years. Hope you check it out! By the way, you are on my blogroll (of course!)

Sure. I guess I felt defensive about David’s being singled out as “mainly (using) the blog as a PR outlet”. I can’t deny that it is, in fact, public relations. I know only too well that every facet of what we do in this business, once the kitchen door swings shut behind us, is PR.

I really only commented because I don’t want people believing David is responsible for any silliness that shows up on the blog. As hopelessly naive as it sounds, that blog is a labor of love to me, and I look at it like I’m supporting some of the great work David is doing.

Okay, so I also might even be a little defensive of Edgewood being called a “trek”. We get a bad rap, that way. We’re right in the middle of a bunch of excellent stuff. The neighborhood is, of course, Sweet Auburn, just east of downtown Atlanta, Georgia!

Shelley -
I can’t even begin to fathom what would posses you to chime in defensively about a positive piece of PR. Regardless of whether it is actually Dave making the posts, the blog IS a PR tool. I said that the main utility of it for readers is to get an update on what food is coming out of the restaurant. Blogs, pictures, and twitter feeds ARE FORMS OF PR!!!!!

Hi, there.
I work at Dynamic Dish and also keep the blog there.
I must point out that it’s not a “chef blog”.
(David is way too busy in the kitchen and at the markets to fiddle with web stuff.)
PR? Since we don’t have a static menu, the pictures and twitterfeed of the lunch menu are there to give you an idea of what we’re serving!
Thanks for the mention, though.

Lately I’ve been liking the ATL food blog, “The Food Abides”. Double word score for having a site name that is a play on the tagline from The Big Lebowski
