Weekend links.

As I told Hubs earlier, this was a week where I moved the chains.  Not by much, but things are getting done.  I finally got out from under whatever fog I've been in and pitched a few places and events, which felt very good.  I also went to Neos for the first time (after wanting to visit for nearly the entirety of our time here) and checked out Tanuki at Dubai Mall for some original sushi rolls.

• How (are) food influencers changing the industry.
• Related to 'influencers,' this story is a WILD ride. (I've never disliked someone more.).
• Want to be a better food photographer?  Some good tips.
• How to be a better food blogger.
• Some great food festivals to attend.
• If you're in the F&B industry, is it okay to have a side hustle?

We had a wonderfully lazy day yesterday and checked out Seafood Kitchen at the Pointe on the Palm, which I would definitely recommend and will be writing about soon.  The upcoming week has a fair amount going on -- a wine night at one of my favorite venues, along with checking out a new place, the London Project.  I'm also hoping to record a podcast that I'm really looking forward to being a part of -- stay tuned! Hope you're having a great weekend!
