Hotel Blog Watch: We're Happy To Hear From the Marriott Chef

February 27, 2008 at 9:00 AM | 1 Comment

Marriott Hotels are no stranger to blogging: Bill himself has been blogging away for over a year now. And since the start of this year, the head chef of Marriott has had his own blogging gig with the new Marriott in the Kitchen blog.

Unlike yesterday's disappointment with the Jumby Bay Resort blog, the people at Marriott have obviously got more of a clue about what makes a blog that readers will keep coming back to.

Brad Nelson, officially the vice president culinary and corporate chef of Marriott International, began with a post about how he started out as a chef, and how he learned the mantra he still works by: "You're only as good as your last meal."

Other recent posts discussed a trip to Paris which unearthed the perfect oyster, a discussion about trans fats and Nelson's opinions on Sydney food after a recent trip there.

Posts come into the Marriott in the Kitchen blog about once a week, and for chronic foodies there's a great blog roll full of links to other exciting food-related blogs. And there are some particularly appetizing looking food pictures, too, which might make us more inclined to eat in at the next Marriott we stay at--apparently the pics are taken by Nelson himself. We give this blog the thumbs up and look forward to seeing how it develops.
