I'm still really bummed out about Tastespotting, but lots of clone sites have starting to pop up and that helps numb my pain a little bit, FoodGawker being the best so far in my opinion. FoodGawker's very similar to the original but I still feel that there is still something about it that's just not quite right--something that's missing. All the fantastic food porn is there (links back to awesome blogs included) but I still feel that it's lacking that Tastespotting magic. Maybe it's getting to see the preview in all it's cropped 250x250 glory--I loved that part, or maybe it's the absence of the fork, the tagging of delicious posts or simply, the search box. Whatever it is, I am sure there will be loads of tweaking and improvements soon and for now it's getting me my fix which is a very good thing.

But I still have hope Tastespotting will return, someday.
