L.A. Times does the Daily Dish

The L.A. Times new food blog The Daily Dish debuted today and it seems like a pretty solid effort so far -- a mix of restaurant news, musings on various ingredients and dishes, miscellanea like the toy sushi, etc. Even better, it's flagged on the Times' homepage -- just a few months ago, I probably would have been clicking around for 15 minutes trying to find it. I'm sure they'll be working on their rather idiosyncratic link list-- I like reading about farms in Monterey and Chinese cooking, but a little more local content would be nice (cough, cough).
