Friends indeed

I'm finally catching up with what my other favorite colleague-bloggers are doing, and I want to point out two food-related posts in case you missed them.

One is John McIntyre's. He's always been remarkably friendly to me even though I'm a troublemaker. But anyone who indulges in both shameless self-promotion and nepotism in one post has my undying respect. Besides, his son has a great name for his new food blog: Eat, Drink, Man, Weblog.

The other is my friend Midnight Sun Sam, who I'm grateful isn't leaving after all with the recent staff reductions. If he left not only would I be the world's oldest teenager, I'd be The Sun's only teenager.

Sam just did a post on the Little Morocco Cafe, which I had never heard of. Anybody know anything about the food? (Not interested in the tobacco.)

First!!!

Now I know that this violates our politeness rule, but seriously Guidiligio, do you really want to be that guy? The hand-tooled d-bag that posts "First" with three exclamation points? Why not just call yourself Gucky or Lucky or Gulucky? Just a thought.

The Owl is grouchy today.

You need some bacon, sweetie.

Owl Meat -- thank you for that one moment of appropriate (and even lucid) commentary.

Speaking of overuse of exclamation points, I wonder if Baltimore Eats ever addressed their problem with punctuation.

For the newbies, we had a little foodie war with the friend(s) of Baltimore Eats over that publications desire to end every sentence with exclamation points!

Sorry I got excited when I saw a blog with no posts for a couple of days. I thought to myself "How do I anger someone who updates their blog name on a regular basis?"

SEVENTH!!!

Thanks Baconette. I think I will treat myself to a bacon English muffin right now.

I checked B'Eats a couple of months ago and their article titles have noticeably fewer enthusiasm points, but the articles seem about the same! It's hard to find an actual copy of it.

OMG-LD, I saw some copies at the Farmer's Market and even picked one up to read. It's somewhere in the back seat of the car now, never to be seen again...

About this blog
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.

He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.
