East Bay Eater SFist Julie reports in from the other side of the MacArthur Maze! To tell you the truth, we were hesitant to share this restaurant review with you, because we were worried that you would swarm our favorite neighborhood breakfast place and extend our wait for corned beef hash, but now, with the collapse of the 80/580 interchange, we have nothing to worry about. So here goes... There are many good and great......

We had planned on going to the gym after work, but it was raining and cold and that type of weather is much better served being somewhere cozy and eating a big plate of comfort food. We couldn’t think of a more fitting place to eat than The Front Porch. ...

Hey, have y'all been using our new "Recommend this" feature at the bottom of each post? This week we're bringing you the "Most Recommended" posts from across the -ist world, as well as recommending some of our own. Phillyist thinks that readers recommended this post the most because "most of our quieter readers (probably) agree with us that rude commenting sucks." Know what else sucks? Philly's not getting the Olympics, but they are getting thinner.......

We haven't really posted a lot on Shuna the past couple weeks, since confessing our blog crush on her. There are lots of Bay Area food blogs (close to 100 that we know about, and that's not counting the restaurant review blogs) and we like to spread the love.

We detected a wave of excitement fluttering through San......

Ever wondered how those Googlers spent their "20%" time? Playing with obscene amounts of silly putty, apparently. Susan Mernit points to a blogger's tale of terror at 30,000 feet, the mainstream media coverage they received, and the nasty responses from commenters at an Alaskan Airlines IP address. Speaking of blogger relations, PR pro G.A. Marken drops by Silicon Valley Watcher to guest post about what bloggers mean to the media landscape from a marketing......

Special "Foodie Roundup" edition. Remember when we told you KQED was inviting people to apply for a new restaurant review show, "Check Please, Bay Area" with a panel of bloggers? Now they've put up the actual application page, so if you want to talk about food on TV, here's your chance. In another update, Bay Blogger alum Jen over at Life Begins at Thirty teamed up with Locavores (a neologism that we kind of......

We received a nice note from Wendy over at KQED's Bay Area Bites Blog who tipped us off about the following opportunity: A heads up for all you local foodies out there...KQED is about to begin production on a new reality TV program called "Check Please, Bay Area!" Based on a show out of Chicago, it's a weekly restaurant review series in which Bay Area residents discuss their dining experiences in a TV roundtable.......
