Journalism think tank the Poynter Institute asked some Beard Award winners about the future of food writing including Ruth Reichl and LA Weekly critic Jonathan Gold, who puts the blogger/professional critic debate into perspective: "You cover a noodle shop and then someone blogs that you think you know noodle shops, but there are 100 you haven’t written about. There is this one guy who is a blogger and his specialty is ramen and he really knows everything about it and little beyond it. So it’s cool, it puts critics in the middle." [Poynter via -E-]
