launching a new blog: gourmet babble

I said I was going to make some changes.

One of those is that I really wanted to have a centralized place to post things about the world of food and dining — mainly reviews, but some other little essays and notes as they struck my fancy. In short, I needed a place where I could babble about food, solely about food, where people would know to go look for it in a centralized place and I could customize the structure *for* food.

I could spend months still trying to get features ready, but that's not the web way, and besides, I'm sick of sitting on this. I need to stop tweaking and start getting content into it. You'll let me know what tweaks I need to make to the UI or usability.

So, as of today, Memorial Day 2006… I hereby launch gourmet babble, the all-things-food blog. Yes, you'll see a little recycled content from daily babble, and it'll take me a while to get things cleaned up. Part of the problem is that, although I have been well advised by the likes of Aster and Bofh Groot, 100% of the work thus far has been mine — including, that means, the UI. So if anybody has any suggestions or wants to help me clean things up or make things better, I am totally open to the concept. Please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy this new, all-food, hopefully-all-fun delving into my passionate affair with gastronomy!

This is almost a personal Eden, except that I'm not doing it. Is there room for others to contribute? Do you want others to contribute?

gsclark, I hadn't thought anyone would be interested in contributing (especially, if I'm not mistaken, an old college chum). There's a logistical issue involved here, but other than that, I think I'm quite open to the concept. Let's touch base in email and see what you were thinking!

What, no one else contributing?! but scott, everyone of your friends (including myself) share's your passion for food. I have to say I am disappointed that I can't be in Chicago to share the critiqueing experience, nor can I suggest places. But if ever you're in Atlanta, there's a great thai place you should try, Siam Square. Page looks great btw! Is there a legend on there for the ratings though?

Very nice so far. Love the entry on the IMSA cafeteria ;)
