With seeming reluctance

The months-old saga of local restaurant scene blog turned personal attack-laden rumor mill StaphMeal.com has reached the point where Technically Philly feels compelled to acknowledge it.
In September, former restaurant worker Joshua Scott Albert outed himself as being behind the blog, as Grub Street reported, following a libel suit from noted Le Bec Fin owner Georges Perrier. Ah, how the internet can be twisted in ugly ways.
With seeming reluctance, Albert was profiled this week by the Daily News and, in the December issue, by Philadelphia magazine.
