Now that I’ve started writing some restaurant reviews, I’ve become more interested in food writing in general. blogTO prefers informally written pieces, but other venues may have other requirements.
Here are just a few of the online resources I found:
Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds You: Ten Tips For Food Writers
Writing A Restaurant Review: from Schoolcraft College Writing Fellows.
Critiquing Restaurant Critics: from RestaurantReport.com
Get Started With Food Writing: from Squidoo.com
Writing a Restaurant Review in Ten Easy Steps: from Epinions.com
How to Write an Online Restaurant Review: from eHow
The perils of writing restaurant reviews: from Pinkmochi.com
While surfing for resources, I also came across Publicityhound.com’s tips on how restaurant owners should react to bad reviews, which I found interesting even though it wasn’t directly related to food writing.
I’m also starting to read more restaurant reviews and food writing online. If you know of others, please do post the URL below, thanks!
