One of the blogs I frequently enjoy visiting is Bonjwing Lee’s blog “the ulterior epicure”. Bonjwing Lee started his blog in 2004 and for seven years he had written his blog anonymously until September of 2011, which is when he had finally decided to reveal his identity. Majority of his reviews go over places all around the world to places that I hope to be able to experience at least once in my lifetime. Under the title of his website is a phrase saying “I live and travel to eat”, which I can relate to completely, other than the travel part because I am a broke college student trying to get a degree.
One of the most noticeable things out of the many that I first took away from his blog post are the images he has. The pictures he uses in a review are outstanding, they capture every moment from the process of the food being prepped as well as the final product of the courses, giving a picture perfect meal. Which I wouldn’t expect any less from someone who uses a Nikon D810. What is also impressive is how he does not use any type of flash photography, light set-ups, or any other equipment, it is just him and his camera, and his camera always eats first.
Another reason why I enjoy reading his reviews is because not only does he talk about the taste of the food, but he also covers how the meal is prepared with a step by step process. The amount of detail he puts within one review is just so informative, for example he will discuss where a chef will obtain their ingredients, then he will describe how they prepare the meal with measurements, temperature and other information someone may want to know. I personally enjoy the information I receive within a post, and that alongside his personal experience and his opinions over the meal is what really keeps me engaged in one of his reviews!
