More (amateurish) content isn't better, whatever Village Voice HQ says
WE don't comment much here on professional food writing in Houston these days, since we're still somewhat in denial over the fact that our big and diverse restaurant town is pretty much covered by one truly professional*, experienced restaurant critic these days.
That said, this recent line on the Village Voice Houston food blog was pretty bad even by their low standards:
Though Killen's menu described blue as having a cold, red center, it sure gave me a warm fuzzy center.
We really do miss the days when professional journos staffed the local alt-weeklies (yes, plural!), and the writing was compelling and substantive.
* By this, we don't mean simply "paid," but rather paid, anonymous, and possibly able to visit a restaurant more than twice before declaring it inconsistent.
