To-the-point reviews that are accurate in description of service and food. Upon finding a dining gem, Reid does such a superb job painting a delectable picture that I am compelled to pay a visit. Highly effective reviews, I'd say.

The name speaks for itself. Cravings-NYC always provides exquisite critiques of restaurants and particular dishes. Beyond the outstanding design and amazing photography I consider this the quintessential source on what to eat in New York.

I nominate Reid from Ono Kine Grinds. He posts very descriptive reviews almost every other day and takes good photos of the food and the diverse restaurants he visits from Hawaii, California and Singapore. Sometimes he posts up some delicious and easy-to-do recipes. Ono Kine Grindz is also very user friendly. Users are able to navigate through the reviews by month, specific location, and food categories which I find to be rather impressive.

It doesn't review restaurant food, but rather the stuff in the center part of the supermarket that, for better or worse, comprises the major portion of the diet of most people. (There appears to be no categorie for packaged food reviews.)

Along with several others, I nominate Becks & Posh (http://becksposhnosh.blogspot.com)

I don't even go out to eat, and I read every one of Sam's reviews.

They are extremely well written and always include interesting details about the entire dining experience. They are always entertaining--and often hysterical. I mean, who can forget Sam's wood-fired pizza lunch spontaneously bursting into flames or happy Fred and his plate of yellow food?
