The Enemy

Seeing as I don't currently live in Phoenix most of the time, and I am a "busy student," I thought I should name a few other Phoenix food blogs that have reviewed many more restaurants than I currently have available. Enjoy :)

Feasting in Phoenix
This website has many reviews done by a non professional..ie not a journalist and not getting paid for his labors. I think the best parts of his blog are the pictures. Honestly, the reviews, while detailed, aren't very helpful to me. I don't agree with much of what he says or annoying details he adds. Most importantly-I don't trust his judgment on food. But by all means-check it out, maybe you enjoy reading about a middle aged man who mostly eats meals at Thai restaurants with his father.

Chow Bella
Michele Laudig's blog is about a lot more than just local eateries. She talks about chefs, current food movements, restaurant developments, and I think her blog has the most "insiders dish" quality than any other. This is probably her career, and she seems familiar with the Phoenix dining seen. It is not so much reviews as it is food gossip.

Jester
This is a blog (the least updated) of an insider (not sure what he does exactly-waiter maybe?) talking about restaurants (mostly) around town. His reviews are average, usually quite long, and not plentiful.

Chow Down Phoenix
I really like this blog. It is simple, helpful, and has great photos to go along with all of the reviews. The only thing that I have to complain about, is that most of the reviews are for places in the East Valley-not so close to home. For those who live around there or are willing to drive, this blog is a good choice. It has three authors-but Jason is the head honcho. It does not contain a very diverse mix of cuisines, but go to the site and see what you think.

These are not blogs, but an online community with groups all over the nation. Most restaurants have ratings, descriptions, and member comments, along with other basic information.
