Brad DeLong And Restaurant Blogging

With firm tongue in cheek, Matthew Yglesias took me to task a week or so ago because I blogged about pizza instead of the world's problems.  If you remember, he then used my post as an excuse to shamelessly blog about pizza himself.

Yesterday, economics professor, blogger extraordinaire, and friend Brad DeLong did Collender and Yglesias one better by posting about high-end restaurants in Berkeley and asking for recommendations.  He lamented the fact that the person he is trying to recruit from the University of Michigan took him to Cafe Chez Pannisse and that there really wasn't much that was better.  (Note to Brad...CCP was where you and Susan Rasky took me to lunch almost three years ago.  The pizza was great.)

My suggestion to Brad: Don't try to outdo your recruit on the high end.  Instead, go for something at the other end that still has great food and show him that he'll enjoy life at CAL no matter where he eats.
