Charles Campion blogs

Charles Campion, Evening Standard restaurant critic and author of The London Restaurant Guide has started blogging.  It seems this is a proper blog, compared to his colleague's Fay Maschler's quasi-blog I mentioned a while ago.

I have always enjoyed his writing and his restaurant recommendations.  He tends to write about restaurants that serve good food rather than simply the newest opening under the sexiest chef. I hope the blog is more than simply transcripts of his copy for the paper.  His first two posts, his biography and dog shit (check the URL, not the title), make me hopeful.

UPDATE The spoil sports at The Evening Standard have changed the url for the dog shit article.  It was http://campion.thisislondon.co.uk/2006/10/dog_shit_and_a_.html, but it is now http://campion.thisislondon.co.uk/2006/10/undisciplined_d.html.  It seems that Charles might not be as free on his blog as I had hoped.
