TasteSpotting Followup

For anyone who is curious: TasteSpotting is back, but under ‘new’ ownership. I put new in quotes because the person who now owns and runs the site is the same person who came up with the concept in the first place: Sarah Gim from The Delicious Life. Tastespotting is simply no longer part of the Notcot network. Details available here.

FoodGawker is still going to run as a TasteSpotting clone, at least for now.

Tastespotting is no more

Looks like due to some sort of legal issues, popular foodie website Tastespotting has been taken down.

Anyone know any more information?

Added June 17: A ‘temporary tastespotting’ has been created, for those looking for a fix. Just check out Food Gawker.

Restaurant Rumormill

If this post on Chowhound is correct, Susur Lee is leaving Toronto for New York. There are also rumors that Susur will close, and reopen at a later date after some renovations and with a revamped menu.

I’m quite interested to see if there is any truth to these rumors. I’m also a bit sad about the prospect; I turn the big 3-0 in December and was hoping to go to Susur as my birthday gift.

I’m positive we’ll be able to find another great restaurant instead. I’ve got months to pick one, after all. But I guess I may have to travel to New York in order to enjoy one of Susur Lee’s creations!
