It’s been eons since I’ve doled out any stars (which are about to look like Buddha statues pretty soon anyway *wink*). There are a myriad of reasons why I haven’t rated any place recently but I’ll spare you the reasons why that happens to be the case. The point is – the system right now doesn’t suit me or this food journal.
I’m not necessarily going to abandon the whole thing (explained here), but I’ve decided to get rid of at least one, if not all, of the currently used categories. I’ll probably re-work Food, Vibe, & Service … but at the very least, Overall is getting kicked to the curb. In its place is a yet to be named category and ultimately the one that will end up being the most important.
The new category is actually based on time/distance. By that I mean, how far should someone be willing to travel to sample a particular restaurant’s wares. I’m still not sure if it will be mileage defined, time defined, or some combination of the two. While I work through it, I’d gladly welcome reader input as to how you might divvy up the category. Do you guys and gals define your dining options by distance or travel time or some combination of the two? I’m leaning towards something like 5 min drive / 20 mile drive / Get on a Plane.

The farther down this road I go, the more and more I realize how important the education process is. As such, I’ve added a new page. It’s called Lessons In Food. It’s ridiculously thin right now, but I promise it will get some serious love moving forward. I’m not entirely sure where the format will end up, but rest assured, the information on their will serve as a collective of good information to help you along this path to knowledge.
The early idea is to simply keep it as a repository of articles good articles. Agreement with the subject matter isn’t a concern. I am much more focused on things that are interesting, move your mind, and offer a reasonably definable sense of logic. It’ll probably end up including that, and a whole lot more! And of course, if you do happen to know of something good to read or watch, let me know (@FoodieBuddha is a good way!)

Hey ya’ll. Getting ready to throw down a review for everyone … in the meantime, I just wanted to mention something. My hosting company is totally freaking incompetent having some difficulties right now (even though they don’t want to admit it). So please bare with me as I try and get things straightened out. In the meantime, page load times might be a bit longer than ideal and/or you may find the site down for moments at a time. I do apologize, such is the price for low cost hosting! Thanks everyone.

I know, I should have another Inside The Chef’s Kitchen post ready to roll. Unfortunately, things have been über busy here at Casa De Buddha. I’m about to hit the road for a very long drive, so hopefully there’s enough of a backlog to keep y’all busy for just a bit. Be back soon, hopefully tomorrow. Peace!
Buddha … OUT!

Many moons ago, I had a little feature called “The Dirty List.” Every month, I put up a Google map that showed where all the “just around the corner” restaurants were to be located. Somehow, it just slipped through the cracks and hasn’t been seen since last April.
Well, I’ve decided it’s time to bring it back. So be on the lookout for new maps. If you have any info that will help, please let me know!

Big error in yesterday’s post on Datealicious. I accidently messed up the URL … here’s the correct one. I updated the other post as well, but wanted to make sure everyone saw that.

After 365 Days, 627 Posts, and 1,055 comments … I’m just amazed that we’re here. What started so innocuously (with just a little note), has turned into a daily part of my life. I’ve met some very cool people and had a lot of great meals. As little side projects go, this has been one of my favorites. Thanks everyone for reading and commenting. More to come in the next 3-6-5.

Holy shizzle people … we just passed 1,000 approved comments. Now, a few of those are from me (less than 1/3) … and a few of them are bots … but the vast majority are from people who read the site. Love me or hate me (and it seems there are quite a few of the latter), ya’ll make this site worth doing. Thanks!
