I'm sorry, but what? Shauna called Saveur "total amateur hour" on twitter just last month: glutenfreegirl @userealbutter I try to remember it. (it's actually a really practical help.) Saveur? Total amateur hour. Using their name to steal our work Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:53:51 Nice to know that Saveur can rise above. Though I still don't agree that theirs is a blog to be profiled by such a well-respected magazine.

Thank you to Jessica and Joshua for this lovely piece. We were surprised and honored to find this here. We love writing Pork Knife and Spoon, and we love knowing that other people are appreciating it. As for the other comments, I would ask everyone reading to ignore them. I certainly did not slam Saveur on Twitter, nor would I. I have subscribed to Saveur for years and adore the magazine. That's part of why this piece meant so much to me and Danny. Unfortunately, we have people trying to imitate us on Twitter, as do many bloggers. That must be where the comment (which no one can find) must have come from originally. Thank you, Saveur.

Shauna, you could've said something like, "Yes, in a fit of anger over what I perceived to be content theft, I said a not-very-nice thing about Saveur. When I came to my senses and realized I was being unfair, I deleted that Tweet. I am so honored, etc.," but you didn't do that. You chose to lie. YOU know you lied; several (perhaps several hundred?) people read that Tweet before you deleted it. Other professional food writers read that Tweet before you deleted it. Now you must stick to your guns because instead of choosing to come clean and appeal to people's better natures, you chose to lie. Again. What's that old adage? Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!

This isn't made up- that's ridiculous, and who has time for that anyway? A group of Saveur-loving food bloggers and I sent it around to each other and commented on it privately when we saw it, because it was so surprising- we love Saveur's blog aggregation function (and it appears that now, you do, too). We've still got it in our e-mails. I'm glad you deleted it, though, Shauna- and that you now see the usefulness of this feature of saveur.com. It's really a great way for us to find new food blogs over which to drool. Incidentally, thank you, Saveur, for sticking out this economy AND giving us fab new features while other magazines hit the great recycling bin in the sky!
Tangled web, indeed.
