I love the weekly "posts of the week" feature over at Too Many Chefs. I can't help but find myself heading over there every Friday to see what they've discovered. Recently Foodgoat also jumped on the bandwagon, even choosing one of my posts as a link. So I'm going to do it too! Every weekend I will post my selection of noteworthy posts.
Viv over at Seattle Bon Vivant is always discovering some new treats and sharing them in her inimitable style. This week was no exception and I plan on seeking out the Green Tomato Jam, but it was her French butter post that really made me smile--who else other than Viv would buy Normandy butter at $13.49 pound? Gotta love the girl!
Sam at Becks and Posh is signed on for the Eating Local Challenge and after a couple of days of disaster she was able to share a very successful day and some real insight into one approach to eating local that makes good sense to me. The viewpoint shared by a certain chef was that of being selective--importing things such as prosciutto and parmesan but trying to find local purveyors of other ingredients like fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. A thoughtful and smart way to approach the whole "eating local" thing.
If you haven't discovered Bunrab, you have no idea the goofy fun you are missing out on, I suggest you head over immediately and make up for lost time. This week not only were there reviews of Tommy's Joynt and Bodega Bistro two places I love, but Chubby reviewed Mangosteen a new restaurant that each time I pass I mentally remind myself I need to try...
With all the new pizza places opening in the Bay Area, it's difficult keeping up. Alder over at Vinography cut through the noise with a review and a succinct description of what makes a truly great pizza. Bravo Alder!
I realize these are all West Coast blogs, next week I will make more of an effort to expand my horizons...

I'm sorry. I'm just too darned obsessed with my new iPhone to post anything original right now. I have been surfing the web however, on my new iPhone, and came across some posts you really should read. Pocket Farm has announced One Local Summer....

This week the food blogging world was filled with posts about Summer fruit, ice cream and sweet peas. But the theme of my posts of the week is posts from bloggers who have been missing in action lately. Welcome back! Which is worse, skipping a meal...
- Secret Menu!
Psst, secret menu, pass it on! Have you ever suspected that a restaurant had a secret menu? Or maybe just a menu that was in another language? Growing up my family frequented a Chinese restaurant where the waiter or manager would order for us, because...
- All About Pizza
I know very little about the food chemistry involved in the making of pizza. But I do know this much. You can't get truly great pizza in the Bay Area. You can get good pizza, but that my friends is not the same thing. Locally many people will point...
