There's so much I want to post about, but laziness always kicks in before I get around to writing the post. Was actually reading an article online about a Singaporean food blogger who apparently went into a restaurant and, after eating, had a bad attitude towards paying and expected the meal to be free because he was a food blogger.
The media stirred it up big and everyone got really angry, calling food bloggers modern day beggars with a DSLR, but truth was, he was invited to a tasting session and brought 3 friends along. Because he was invited, he assumed it was going to be free, but it was only free for him and +1, not all his friends. He then tossed his credit card on the table grudgingly, and someone from the restaurant, displeased with his behavior, called some rival food bloggers and told them about it. They then wrote up scathing posts about him (chance to bring down a rival?) and it felt like they were kicking someone who was already down.
The world of food bloggers isn't so pleasant afterall. It's becoming more and more commercialized, which is really sad. Shall look at food and be comforted that no matter how terrible and low this world becomes, there will still be good food around, and that matters a lot.
