Most Useful All-Around Blog:
www.eater.com
The one blog I read almost daily for gossip, reviews and more gossip. Restaurants fear being put on Eater’s “Deathwatch” – a telltale sign of closure. Eater also lists restaurants that have recently opened, shutdown and been reviewed, as well as relevant New York food news. In addition, Eater sports an L.A. version and a real estate spin-off called Curbed.
Best Recipe Blog:

In 2003, cookbook author and photographer Heidi Swanson realized that she owned more than 100 cookbooks. So, she decided to blog her way through them all. Great recipes and professional photos make this blog better than owning the books Swanson’s writing about!

The insightful food pictures that Chika Yoshizaki takes from her Japan base and her world travels are enough to make you hungry and at least a bit jealous. I just wish she posted more frequently.

San Francisco-based blogger Pim Techamuanvivit is a former Silicon Valley exec whose photos of her dining and traveling experiences made me install a drool protector on my laptop.
A Nod to the Blog That Started It All:
The Julie/Julia Project
Julie Powell, a self-described “government drone by day, renegade foodie by night” cooked every recipe from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961) between August 2002 and August 2003. She shared this huge project with over 800,000 people who made it one of the most popular blogs ever. Although the project is now complete, the archives are available for viewing and Powell still posts from time to time between working on what she calls a “really obscene” book deal.
