NYC is home to many, especially a unique and diverse foodie’s scene. This makes being vegan a total foodie adventure.

]]>But what does a food blogger do in the age of Coronavirus? In a recent blog post, Salmon shares her experience. “Back in the day, reviewing restaurants was easy,” she reflects. “We would drive to the location, be seated, take pictures, tip, and toodles—go home. Those were the days where we could invite a friend to come along as our plus one and linger in a restaurant for more hours than necessary. They were great, right?”
“If that feels like it was ages ago, remember it’s only August and those good ol days happened in February,” she adds, jokingly. “What changed five months ago has only led us to days where there’s no end in sight for the pandemic and we may be diving further into it. I would love to say that I’m comfortable dining out in Los Angeles like it was first quarter 2020, but I’m not. I follow the news too closely and I work in a hospital, neither of those are quelling any fear about being in public. The challenge is that I still want to review restaurants because it makes me happy. At a point, I realized that I missed photographing food and being in the creative culinary space. While COVID isn’t changing just yet, how I’m reviewing restaurant has.”
One huge change is where she actually eats – taking her work home rather than sharing her restaurant experience. “If you caught that I didn’t mention eating in the restaurant, you would be right!” writes Salmon. “I suggested that you photograph the plated food, box it up, tip, and that was it. Yep, after you tip you bounce with your food, head home, and eat it there.” Her candid, down-to-earth approach when it comes to reviewing food, is a breath of fresh air for those of us looking for a silver lining in the pandemic.
Her reviews often include photos of the restaurant’s interior, along with a detailed description of her dining experience. You’d want to check her out:
in November I committed to bettering my health by increasing my fitness and the things I eat. I went from boxing with @gift.davis twice a week to three times a week + jogging, sit ups, and biking on the weekend. And I also committed to eating better. Don’t get me wrong I’m still gonna eat most of the things I love, but throwing in a beautiful plate of fresh veggies like this from @freshrestaurantsla will do me wonders. I’m not throwing myself into a new year trying to do things drastically different, but I’m trying to make marginal changes that will become solid habits that will lead me to my best me. Can a bowl of avocado, sweet potatoes, peppers, and quinoa, help get me there? You betcha! What marginal changes are you doing to reach your goals this year? #freshrestaurants #wehoThe post What Do Restaurant Lovers Do In the Age of Covid-19? appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
