Bay Area Bites, KQED's aggregate food blog, is dedicated to providing a variety of food-related information from the Bay Area and beyond. BAB bloggers are culinary professionals, food writers, and cookbook editors. Many have local food blogs of their own. Blogger profiles are online so you can learn more about each BAB contributor.
KQED advocates citizen media and has started aggregate blogs to provide a forum for alternative, non-mainstream points of view, including those of the user.
BAB is committed to providing accurate and honest information. Posts are based on individual bloggers' opinions. These perspectives are not necessarily the opinions of KQED. KQED Interactive supports BAB bloggers' contributions and has provided ethical and stylistic guidelines for them to follow.
These guidelines are:
1) BAB bloggers should avoid conflict of interest and personal involvement with restaurants when reviewing establishments.
2) BAB bloggers should remain anonymous when reviewing a restaurant when possible although occasionally bloggers will interview the owner/chef for a post that includes a review.
