The Food Blogger Episode
This week's FN Dish may be my favorite so far. First of all, it's the first one I actually wrote as a script--so it has a lot more of my voice in it, something that many of you may have felt was missing. Second of all, it features three of my favorite bloggers: Ed Levine from Serious Eats, Luisa Weiss from The Wednesday Chef and Amanda Kludt from Eater.
