I have to say that although I guess I'm something of a foodie and love to try new interesting sounding recipes, I am astounded at the sheer chutzpah demonstrated by eater.com. Too much clutter about food on the internet? Sorry honey, I don't think that's exactly up to you to decide. Yes, as of October 2, eater.com is the only blog allowed to post about food and cooking. They are the only ones that post anything of substance and actually have offered bloggers $25 to close down.
Eater complains about Serious Eats, but I get their newsletter and have been very pleased with the results of the recipes I've tried. They say that on SE one will learn such difficult techniques as "melting butter." Huh. Sounds as though they haven't watched Food network and its gawd-awful programming lately because that is exactly what it has become.
It been suggested that eater.com is funded by Food Network, a website famous for its own suckitude. I don't doubt this for a second.
Hey, I think I'll become a food blog, shut down, and then re-open shop once the check clears. Ptui upon you, Eater!
I suggest that bloggers and food readers everywhere boycott eater.com.
