Congrats Hungry Girl!

So it's not a secret that Dre and I like food. We like it, a lot. We like eating it, we like smelling it, we like making it, and we like people who appreciate it. There's a very cool blog called "A Hungry Girl's Guide to Taipei". It's an english blog dedicated to reviewing the best eats in Taipei or Taiwan and has even expanded to LA or SD or other Asian countries this Hungry Girl happens to be in (Korea, China, etc etc). Even if you don't live in Taipei, there are the LA reviews (I'm assuming most of our readers are LA based... so far :P) it's a fun read and nice to see food from other countries that isn't Panda Express (or Taipei's take on foreign foods to them!) I think it started out as a personal blog to remember or recap food experiences, and possibly share with some others since at its inception there were no other English food blogs for Taipei, and it's blown up into a pretty big deal where last time I was in Taipei, my friends who had just moved there said "I use that site!!" and like a religion. I think I especially like that it's not just about restaurants, but food carts and night market spots too, which are SO OFTEN my favorite foods.

Anyways, I digress. There was recently a tidbit in Taipei Times about how her blog was their staff's favorite blog! I think that may be the first print "review"? How Awesome.

Nice job... hope you make even more people drool. Go check it out! (There's this post about Westside Tavern that makes me want to go there so badly.)
