Soon to be a new entry into the crowded Manchester online entertainments scene comes Love Grub. Part of the fledgling Love Manchester site, this food news and reviews site has one major difference – it’s based around video.
Heading firmly into Manchester Confidential’s backyard, the site is looking to provide honest reviews of the city’s restaurant scene by aggregating existing food blogs, and also encouraging reviews from customers.
One half of the couple behind the move, Gary Greenwood tells me that advertisers will be offered listings information together with a short video package to show off their premises. The reviews will be kept independent from these commercial video elements.
In addition there’s to be magazine style feature video content around food in the north west produced by Gary and his partner.
Early days yes, but one to watch.
I wonder whether it will prompt a three-way advertising price war between ManConf (as it struggles to persuade the market that paywalls are the answer), and the under-populated CityLife offering from the MEN?

Man Con I believe have lost the struggle – the paywall disappered weeks ago and the editorial is about as condecending as some of the rants. Woefully bad now. What happened to the membership card anyway??
