Links: El Nayar, Frisco Tap House And The Growing World Of Howard County Food Writing

A thousand flowers have bloomed among people writing about Howard County food, so people should check out several other sites that are reviewing or otherwise talking about local options.

• El Nayar's breakfast gets a thumbs up from the HoCo Rising blog.  I wrote about El Nayar about two years ago, and the Elkridge spot does succeed with authentic Mexican -- real flavor in a casual setting.
• The Foodspotting Web service interests the Computer Blues Posterous blog.  David writes about the site that wants you to post about specific dishes -- a photo and a recommendation about where you can order.
• The Yum Report has been all over town -- three "yums" for the new Frisco Tap House in Columbia, but only two for Charley's Grilled Subs in the Columbia Mall.
• Hoco Hangover continues to work through its list of Howard County nightlife spots -- this time posting about the River Hill Sports Grille.  Linda and Missy posted about Ravens game specials, but I wasn't home in time to link to them.  Watch HoCo Hangover for a rundown on Super Bowl specials.
• Then if you're cooking at home, check out Thoughts From A Swimmer blog where Cindy and hubby put together a new salad with grapefruit, avocados, chicken and more.
• The new Baltimore Beer Guy site announced two new beers from Frederick's Flying Dog brewery -- both draft only and one brewed with four-leaf clovers.
• And finally welcome to Balted Marley, a blog that seeks to drink and review every beer at the Perfect Pour.  The Perfect Pour is enormous, so the blog has many a mixed-six-pack to go.
