Grilled: 2008 Taste of the Nation

Chris Cheung, Monkey Bar

What do you think of blogs/Web sites aggressively covering the NYC scene?
I think it’s great. It adds to the depth of the press in New York City. Before, you had the big six or seven critics, but now you can read all day.

Who do you read?
I’m a devoted Eater and Grub Street reader. Chowhound and the Bruni Blog as well.

Have you feelings ever been hurt by the blogs?
It you are out there you have to take the good with the bad. That’s the game.

What’s the worst thing you’ve read about yourself?
Somebody sent a nasty letter to Grub Street once. It wasn’t too cool, but it is what it is. You get over it.
