Best Food Blog

3 Nov 2008

Nominate your choice for Best Food Blog. Another category frequently requested over the years makes its debut.

NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR ALL CATEGORIES EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING:

Best Large Blog
Best Mid Major Blog
Best Mid Minor Blog
Best Small Major Blog

To nominate a blog you need to leave a comment on this entry. Your comment should contain the name of the blog, the main URL for the blog, and (if possible) the URL for a RSS/Atom feed. For example:

Wizbang
http://wizbangblog.com/
http://feeds.wizbangblog.com/Wizbang

Unless you login via one of the supported authentication services (Typekey, WordPress, OpenID, Yahoo, AIM, etc.) your comment will not be published immediately. Unauthenticated comments are placed in a moderation queue. Due to the volume of comments, it may take up to 24 hours for your comment to be approved. Comments from authenticated users will be published immediately.

Every so often our spam fighting service flags an authenticated comment as spam. If put more than 10 URL's in a comment it will set off the junk filter. If your comment doesn't immediately appear that's probably what happened. We review and "unjunk" these comments as we are approving unauthenticated comments. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Rules And FAQ's

  • You can nominate yourself, don't be shy.
  • The number of nominations a blog receives is irrelevant. One nomination is enough...
  • Rather than add a "me too" nomination for a site you're encouraged to use the "+" icon to indicate your preference for nominees. The "+" ratings are one extra piece of information the finalist selection panel can use to help generate the finalist slates in each category.
  • Given the two previous items, we reserve the right to remove excessive comments (i.e. nominations) for the same site.
  • The nomination period is scheduled to end on Wednesday, November 19, 2008.
  • The nomination period has been extended to Friday, November 21, 2008.
  • Voting for selected finalists is scheduled to begin December 8, 2008. Finalists will be announced several days before voting begins.
  • Read The Nomination FAQ
  • Get Weblog Award logos to post on your site. Link to the nomination index or your favored category
  • Get technical help or ask questions at The Weblog Awards Forum
  • If you are linking to the contest consider using the nomination category archive, as it contains links to all of the nomination posts.

Sass and Veracity

I don't even do food blogs, but I do this one. She has quite a following now, and you can actually make that stuff and learn something in the process.

Foodie At Fifteen

This is a kid who knows plans to be a master chef and is charting his course with each entry. It's hysterical, honest, irreverent, and well-written.

I second the nomination of Expatriate's Kitchen! I have used Expat Chef's recipes at least once a week ever since discovering her site about 18 months ago!

Cafe Grendel

The blog awards really need a 'Best Coffee Blog' category though - although the food photos at Cafe Grendel are pretty good.

So Good broke the Papa John's/Lebron James "Crybaby" story that forced Papa John's to offer $.23 pizza's and a formal apology to Lebron James and the city of Cleveland. So Good has broken a number of other food stories throughout 2008.

Here's a list of the media coverage the site has received in the past year:

The Last Appetite
http://www.lastappetite.com/
Phil's witty, acerbic food blog has just turned one year old and has also turned the heads of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal (Asia) and many more.

Originally starting with Cambodian street food blog 'Phnomenon', Phil tried to 'eat his way out of Asia' and now is reviewing a wider palate from the vantage point of Australia.

Don't take my word for it, take a bite for yourself and see why his articles are getting picked up by local and international media.
