Year of the viral restaurant review and foodie divides
The piece surveys 2012 as a year when online reviews shaped dining trends from Guy Fieri in Times Square to Paula Deen and Chick-fil-A, with drought, Hostess bankruptcy, and foie gras bans fueling a clash between mainstream eating and foodie culture. It notes pink slime panic, dietary rules, and trends like dark meat, craft beer, barrel aged cocktails, and coconut oil.
