One blogger, Requia Badr, said "We walk quite a lot compared maybe to some cities in the U.S. I remember the day I was walking on Third Street in Los Angeles and three different cars stopped and the drivers asked “What happened? Are you OK?” This couldn’t occur in France because we are accustomed to walking. If I take my own example, when I can avoid taking the bus or the metro I do it, and anyway, even taking the metro, we walk a lot from a line to another."

On Friday, November 12, 2004, Los Angeles Times food writer and author Russ Parsons interviewed superchef Thomas Keller, owner of The French Laundry and Bouchon restaurants, as a supplement at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's latest art exhibit "From Renoir to Matisse: The Eye of Duncan Phillips."

The piece offers both a look at food-specific content and blogs in general, with a limited respect and tolerance for non-pros. Winer notes, "When a good writer chronicles his life, it is art. When an amateur feels the need to chronicle his life by listing what he made or ate for dinner each night, often the best that can be said is that it's touching." The blogs that she most admires, including Julie Powell�s brilliant Julie-Julia Project, bad things, Chocolate & Zucchini via France, and the NYC-based Food Section, are not rooted in our town but provide some terrific story telling and/or universally useful information.
