Amateur Gastronomes

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

What qualifications do you need to be a good food critic? Amateur food enthusiasts are putting their keyboards where their mouths are, and writing their own food blogs. Who are these culinary mavericks? And how do they know so much about food? Ruth Reichl, editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, and food bloggers Josh Friedland of TheFoodSection.com, Jennifer Leuzzi of snack.blogs.com, and Regina Schrambling of gastropoda.com fame weigh in on the phenomenon.

Music: Swingtime! by the Canadian Brass, Tracks 2 and 12
