The Return

Taste. food blog has, finally, after a 6-month hiatus, returned. Over the break, we were featured in numerous articles both online and in print. Thank you to everyone who gave us a shout-out! Now, with this added boost, regular blogging will begin. In other news, we just received our 10,000th individual, world-wide hit! Thank you for the continued support; we left with only 6,000 last October.


Here's the truly big news:

In the half a year seen we last typed out our love for cuisine, Taste.'s dedicated foodies have visited and toured a half-dozen regions of the U.S. Along with the already planned (extensive) coverage of SF and Northern California, new delicious additions are here. I am proud to announce the official expansion of "Taste." into Seattle, Denver, Portland, Western Oregon, and the sunny Los Angeles Metro Area! To maintain our sanity while writing dozens of articles, we have decided to drop Tampa Bay and nix our upcoming addition Houston. Don't worry; we'll add the Eastern U.S. back in the next year. Look forward to expansion into New York City, Boston, and New Orleans!

Below is a catalogue of upcoming reviews and specials for our territories, both new and old. (This list is for the next three months - yeah, that's a ton of content!) Which one are you most excited for?!?!
