Is BYOBandits SOL?

Six months ago an upstart restaurant review blog called BYOBandits was lauded in a Reader story for its cutting-edgy renegade hipness in approaching reviewing… though the comment section was notably voluble in wondering why these guys as opposed to anyone else doing the same thing (especially the better-known renegades Chicago Gluttons, who had long been plowing the same turf). You can’t go check it out for yourself, though— BYOBandits seem to have failed to renew their hosting. We checked with the one part of their media empire that still seems active, their Twitter account, and got back the response “We’re currently raising venture capital in Colombia,” which, to their credit for keeping a joke going, was immediately followed by a Foursquare check-in in Cartagena. But whether their site ever returns and you can get your cutting-edgy on again, no one can say.
