I have a new guilty pleasure... the Food Media and News forum at egullet.com. Apparently, quite a few foodies in the industry are members... Tony Bourdain, best known for Kitchen Confidential, Amanda Hesser, the NY Times food writer, and Ted Allen, of Queer Eye post quite regularly. The boards can be quite catty and gossipy. Apparently, Alton Brown totally snubbed Bourdain at this year's James Beard awards, nobody likes Amanda Hesser, Alice Waters seems to be pulling ahead (go Alice!) in the Alice Waters vs. Jeremiah Tower food revolution debate, and although most of the posters seem to be from the East Coast (NY area), everyone falls prostrate at the feet of Thomas Keller (as they should).
