Steven A. Shaw, a founder of the influential online culinary discussion forum eGullet and one of the first writers to start his own food blog, died on Tuesday in Manhattan. He was 44.

Mr. Shaw?s role in contemporary food journalism was considered pioneering for the open-forum websites he created. The website eGullet and his blog Fat-Guy.com, which has been discontinued, became online hubs where chefs, serious home cooks, gourmands and people just looking for a new restaurant could meet and talk on end about food ? setting a standard for the thousands of other Internet sites that are now the food blogosphere.

Mr. Shaw, a lawyer by training, quit his job with the Manhattan law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore to enter the then-unexplored country of online journalism in the late 1990s.

The venture set off an explosion of clashing online opinions and philosophies of food.

?The eGullet site, at one time, could be a thrilling place, where a simple question might be answered by Anthony Bourdain or the food editor of The Los Angeles Times,? wrote Todd A. Price, a dining writer for The Times-Picayune in New Orleans.

Nathan Myhrvold, a former chief technology officer for Microsoft, started a thread on eGullet in 2004 (asking for advice on sous vide, a method of cooking in sealed vacuum bags) that led him to undertake ?Modernist Cuisine,? a six-volume encyclopedia of food arts, biology and physics, published in 2010. David Chang, the chef and owner of Momofuku in Manhattan, has described it as ?the cookbook to end all cookbooks.?

If they didn't stop being AC/DC when Bon Scott died I see no reason to stop on Malcolms account.

I recall they've toured without Malcolm before.  Felt like the worst-thing-ever at the time but….when looking back it is a blur of just a fantastic fun concert anyway.

I saw AC/DC in maybe 08 or 09 and my ears rang for days…

By the way, what's the best concert going ear plugs? Any advice you avid show goers?

i still swear by my Etymotics (http://www.etymotic.com/hp/er20.html).  there are better plugs out there, if you're willing to spend the cash, but for under $12 you can't beat etys.

They did! and if I recall he was replaced by a cousin or something like that…. it was when Malcolm went into rehab and quit drinking alcohol…i am thinking late 80s…

hoping malcolm and all of them are healthy

I saw them second row center opening night in wilkes barre last tour (2008) and it remains one of my best memories.. lord knows i'd waited a lifetime.

i could see them being done though……



hutch, I thought about you yesterday.

I'm not kidding, an 18 wheeler going about 75mph missed my car by about two feet, max… The forum was almost one member short as of yesterday. I'd have to say it was one my closest calls in life.

^Yada glad you are ok… people drive like maniacs.. I'm not sure what was written about my accident..  was driving along at 25 mph in good old Arlington (from the record store of course) when out of nowhere my car starts spinning , the front windshield cracks …i break and realize i can't get out… paramedics where on scene quick…the end result was 22 plus breaks in 8 ribs, pelvic fractures, 6 fractures in shoulder blade, collapsed lung…and other shit..miracle i did not lose consciousness…. my remaining issue other than a bit of a fear of driving, is the shoulder blade is messed up and am working on it…

what happened? someone couldn't wait to get out of parking lot… truck coming along taps her and she spins into my driver side door destroying the left side of my body.. i'm lucky

i hope i'm not repeating something i already typed here.

but I came on to write that AC/DC has confirmed Malcolm Young is ill and is taking a break from the band…

I love Malcolm and am really wishing him all the best…. he's the man.

I'm 12 weeks into a compression fracture of a vertebrae and the pain just won't let up. Every time it  really hurts, I tell myself Hutch has it much, much worse.

The doctor is suggesting a kyphoplasty would cure my ills. Fucking insurance won't pay for it, but I'm thinking it might still be out of pocket money well spent.

Anybody have a medical opinion to share?

I suppose this is the right thread. I feel like my 46 year old body has aged 20 years this year. Atomic will be thrilled to learn I lost a half inch in height.

I'm glad I can be of some solace..

:)

i'm sorry for your pain man..that blows…. i've had some lower back issues (since right before accident , maybe made worse by accident) and its no fun for sure…


my only comment is to be sure to rule out chiropractors and acupuncturists before any surgery….12 weeks is a long time though…..i recommend deb earley to rule out acupuncture… i don't think acupuncture can help a fracture but it often helps with pain management

Sledding with my kid. I was taking a solo run and went over a snowhill some kids had made ( didn't see it until it was too late). Got airborne and landed awkwardly on my skinny white ass. Heard something crunch and pop and immediately knew i was fucked. Probably wouldn't have bothered a kids bones, but mine are too old for that shit.
