Snobs

A perusal of the latest in the David Kamp snob franchise has me thinking about snobs, and not just The Upper Crust. The Food Snob's Dictionary, which drops on 9 October, does the same things as the preceding Rock Snob's Dictionary and the Film Snob's Dictionary, but the similarities of the books points out some of the differences of these various snob constituencies. To put it in egghead terms, the media ecologies of these fields are configured differently. To put it in more immediate terms, why is there no pitchfork.com for food? And speak to me not of the eGully or the Hound. Not the same thing.
