One of the reasons my posting has been so erratic of late is that I've been at work between 80 and 90 hours a week for the past two months. The other is that in what few free waking hours I have, I've been working on a new food blogging project that is now underway. Loyal readers, I present you with Gothamist Food.

Many of you will already know of Gothamist, one of the more popular New York City weblogs. Now my co-editor Laren Spirer and I are managing a new food blog for the sprawling Gothamist empire. It promises to be lots of fun, and probably more informative than my musings on these pages, so please pay us a visit sometime.
