These bloggers may come from different backgrounds and espouse divergent culinary destinations, but there is no longer any discounting their collective influence as a growing number of foodies rely on their online opinions on where—and what—to eat The Satirist spankyenriquez.blogspot.com Spanky Enriquez, Blogger and C.O.O. (Universal Worker Nurse Review and English Proficiency Centers) With article titles ranging from “50% OFF and 200% FULL at the Best and Biggest Buffet in Manila!!!” (about the famous Spiral Buffet at Sofitel Philippine Plaza) to “Bastusang Pambansa . . . ” (a scathing piece about the controversial Constitutional Assembly), “Manila Boy” is not so much a food blog as it is a website by a razor-sharp political satirist and self-confessed bookworm who just happens to be a foodie, too. “My Capampangan genes predetermined my becoming a foodie,” says Spanky Enriquez, who cites Anton Diaz of “Our Awesome Planet” fame as one of his main influences. “My grandfather served as mayor of San Fernando and vice governor of Pampanga, and his wife, my Lola Sally, was renowned as a chef and had guests ranging from Douglas MacArthur to Ninoy Aquino. And to this day, my aunts run the legendary Hizon’s Bakeshop in Ermita, home of the best ensaimada in the Philippines.” Spanky’s easy but insightful writing style shines through in his posts. In his popular post, “HOOTERS Manila: The HAPPIEST Place on Earth!!!”, he valiantly defends the honor of the Hooters Girls—“And just because they don’t all look like Marian Rivera, they get insulted in ways that would make Simon Cowell cringe?” while singing the praises of their Hot Wings (“just the right amount of heat, extremely tasty & crispy skin, and moist, tender meat”). Interestingly, Manila Boy’s biggest foodie scoop was taken offline. When Anthony Bourdain was shooting an episode of No Reservations in Pampanga in October 2008, Spanky blogged, a little past midnight, about the famous chef’s newfound infatuation with San Miguel Beer, complete with pictures. Hours later, at around 6:30 A.M., the show’s producers gave him an ultimatum: either pull down the blog post, or they would pull the entire Pampanga segment from the Philippine episode. “For the love of my home province, I removed my post about Bourdain immediately,” he recalls. - Cliff Sawit READ ABOUT MORE BLOGGERS LIKE ANTON DIAZ (OUR AWESOME PLANET), LORI BALTAZAR (DESSERT COMES FIRST) AND THE MAN BEHIND MARKET MANILA IN OUR AUGUST 2009 ISSUE, ON STANDS NOW! __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (2) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos | Links | Database | Polls | Members | Calendar Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
