I mean, I'm not entirely a "food blogger" but I blog enough about food that...hey, sure. Sounds good to me.
This isn't really the entirety of what I said, but it's a good enough quote taken from a much lengthier opinion on Din Tai Fung.
For the record, I do think their dumplings are excellent, but I don't eat there often - I've been once - because while they're really good, there's only so much you can do with a dumpling and I find their prices high. I believe the price has more to do with being able to get away with charging Japanese tourists that much than it does with how much it actually costs to run the restaurant and make a profit.
Oh, funny, that article is by my friend, Ralph Jennings: http://lalaoshi.livejournal.com/
