Your lead in says: "Start your weekend off with some quality food writing, and hopefully quality food as well! Think we missed something great?"

Yes! Grammar, (in two languages no less), vocabulary, spelling, and syntax. Of course, you only have a week to put these intros together, so deadlines are a problem.

As for "hopefully quality food" what does hope have to do with it? There are so many articles about junk food here, I'll just have to assume that Paula Deen has a bigger influence on your readership than they like to think.

"(Rock) journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, in order to provide articles for people who can't read."

Frank Zappa said that. Think how flattered he’d be to know it was adapted as the HuffingtonPost style manual!
