For years, CL's loyal readers have made our food coverage one of the most popular sections of both the paper and the website. Now, it's time for us to give back.
Today, CL unveiled a new food site that goes far beyond the restaurant reviews, wine columns, food and drink events, and occasional news we've doled out in the past. To do that we assembled a crack group of local food and drink bloggers to cover the Bay area's vibrant eating and drinking culture, from tours of local ethnic markets to a behind-the-scenes look at the people who bring you food. We'll also feature more coverage of restaurant openings and closings, local events, and foodie news from around the country.
One of the biggest changes will be for readers willing to take a turn in their own kitchen. Every week will bring new recipes, new discussion of kitchen gear and techniques, information about the freshest in-season local ingredients, and much more for both novices and practiced home cooks. Think you've got some chops with a knife? Check out our monthly recipe contest, where we'll determine the best unsung chefs in the Bay area.
There will be new stories, recipes and news posted throughout the day, every day of the week, so make sure to check back frequently to keep an eye on what's going on. And if you have any information about the local scene that you'd like to see covered, or and idea for new columns, drop us a line.
Enough talk. Eat it up.
