The St. Petersburg Times has launched a new food blog called
Stir Crazy. The blog is
written by two St. Petersburg Times journalists: Times food editor Janet K. Keeler and Times restaurant critic Chris Sherman.
Janet starts the blog with a peeve about the state's quality of bread
and cheese:
Where food critic Chris Sherman and I will blog about the things we love and
hate about food and drink. Please join the discussion. Like us, we figure the
only thing you love more than eating and drinking is talking about eating and
drinking.
Here's my pet peeve: Why don't we get better bread, cheese and produce in the
nation's fourth-most populated state? Why don't we demand better?
And the blog is hopping with 24 lengthy comments to this first entry. With Stir Crazy, the St. Petersburg Times and TampaBay.com now have thirteen blogs which is more than most independent blog networks have. A similar blog-launching trend is occuring at many other tech savvy local newspapers as they enter the blogosphere.
