With the next round of
bloggies (or web log awards for those not down with the
hip lingo), there's some concern that some types of blogs with
large communities may not be included. Specifically, communities that are well known for
tons of online events, and large
gathering places whose interactions leak in to and out from real life. So, the food bloggers (floggers?) have done what they do best, and
started their own awards - with 14 nomination categories, the results plan to, at the very least, make us all drool, if not inspire a few feasts here and there.
(and yay to mefi for winning
last year's best community blog!)

Food blogs and online foodie journals gained a cyber-foothold with the now defunct Julie/Julia project. Now, even
Gourmet Magazine and
Forbes have sung their praises. But all is not just
decedent descriptions of cooking in France,
culinary adventures in the far east,
musings and
experiences of the gastronomic variety. Foodie blogs can help
an expat cope with food in England,
procrastinate law school,
learn to make your own chocolate (or if you don't want to go to the effort, find out
which chocolates are the best. Some foodies are
going through culinary school, some have
recently finishes, and some are
rather familiar to food network addicts. But whether you're looking to learn
all about cheese, compete in the community-wide
Is My Blog Burning?, or just enjoy simple beautiful reflections on
food and related botany, there's plenty of
food porn out there for you.
