Pasadena Now is looking for local bloggers to review restaurants
Sep 4th, 2007 by Jill
James Macpherson of Pasadena Now emailed me this weekend (and I’m posting this with his permission):
I wanted to ask you if you know of 2-3 bloggers who are foodies who would agree to review Pasadena restaurants for me… a lot — like WEEKLY.
Advantage: They can get into any restaurant and eat for free!!!
Advantage: Their article in PN will drive traffic to their blog!!!
Disadvantage: They could not post their story on their blog, because: (a) I want to retain exclusivity on stories they write for me; (b) they get to eat for free!!!!!!
I would love to post 3 new restaurant reviews a week, so I am looking for 3 foodies (one person would just explode if they ate that much!!!)
He’s hoping that they can take pictures to go with the reviews, too. Please contact James Macpherson for more information about how to get started.
WTF was up with James’ bowtie on TV this week?
James was on TV?
Hm.
J-Mac was on City Beat this week on KPAS.
Thank you so much for posting this, Jill!!! I called this poor guy tonight and couldn’t stop stammering for five minutes – I was so excited to talk to him. Luckily he didn’t just hang up on me and I finally was able to calm down and tell him who I was and what I wanted. Keep your fingers crossed for me – we may be inviting you and Gavin out to a really nice dinner soon!
Did you set this offer up just to lure Erin back to L.A.?
I wish!!!
Sarah, I would *love* to read your restaurant reviews. I’m keeping everything crossed.
I already do! My blog is focused on reviews of SGV places, but I have already done lots of Pasadena establishments. Let me know if my material would work. Thanks!
joy–it’s just a year or so too late! Darn. What I really need is someone in NYC to pay for my meals since I’m a poor grad student.
Food blogger Tuna Toast might be good–she lives in South Pas I believe:

Wow! Making restaurants provide free meals for “reviews?” Good thing objectivity isn’t on the menu!
Isn’t that a “Fight Club” reference? (the name..Hi my name is Rupert..)
