These days, across almost every communicative medium, somebody is talking, and talking a lot, about food; cooking blogs, FoodTV, restaurant critics, celebrity chefs, web series, journals, reality shows and food magazines abound. This panel discussion explores the explosion of foodie culture and looks at how food criticism and recipe sharing translate across various forms of media and popular culture.

Panelists will include cookbook writer Lukas Volger, restaurant critic Mike Klein, blogger Jessica Fechtor, and Chris Muscarella the founder of online food program Kitchen Surfing. This program will be moderated by Meredith Broussard, professor of Journalism at Temple.
