Update: Crest, Int'l Visitors & Google

DEP would like to extend its gratitude to Ms. L "I out eat grown men" S for her outstanding work in creating a crest for Delta Eta Pie. After careful thought and much deliberation, Ms. L.S. helped DEP decide on the four following symbols: a cornucopia, a wine goblet, the scales of justice and an English rose. It is our hope that this crest will serve to remind us of the goals to which we aspired when we founded this society 19 days ago: (1) to keep an open mind and open belly as we pursue our mission to survey a "cornucopia", if you will, of food & drink; and (2) to approach our role as food critics with the professionalism, objectivity and scrutiny as would judges in a court of justice. A globe enrobed with the flags of the world sits atop our banner to represent our international cuisine and our diverse membership.

On the topic of internationalism, DEP would like to note the diversity of visitors to our blog. We have already seen folks visit us from the following countries: Canada, India, Argentina, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore. Scroll over the flag of each country on the right panel to see an image of the various countries. Welcome everyone! May good food unite us all:o)

Lastly, DEP celebrates its debut on the Google pages as Google's spider recently "crawled" our blog. This means the DEP blog now shows up as a result to relevant searches on Google. We hope that our web presence continues to grow at this rapid rate and we become a real resource to other food lovers in Los Angeles who are on a modest budget.
