There are so many people to thank who helped put this together. I would like to thank the sponsors, who helped ensure that prizes would be available to a fair majority of the categories. I would also like to thank Tara, who put this together last minute (because of my own poor planning).
I would like to also thank the writers of all food blogs. I know it sounds odd, but we are all getting noticed by the food writing community. This past week alone, I've done interviews for two mainstream newspapers surrounding food blogs.
Finally, I would like to thank all the readers out there who had strong enough opinions of the food blogs to not only nominate their favorites sites, but also vote for them. We had well over 7000 individual votes across the 16 categories. This speaks much of how much food blogs are enjoyed.
Here's to a wonderful 2004 in the food blog community, and to a stronger 2005!
This is it... the best of the best. The one everyone was waiting for... I won't keep you in anymore suspense.
Your nominees are:
*Best Overall Food Blog*
The winner?
2004 saw an explosion of new food blogs starting up (including the one your reading now). As blogging moved into the mainstream, it was only time that those who had a passion for food would stake their claim in the blogosphere. And we are much better for it.
Your nominees are:
*Best New Blog*
And the Winner is...
I have to tell you, I love group blogs. The idea of several opinions and perspectives coming from one centralized location strikes me as the pinacle of what a blog can do. And in regards to food? It means more recipes. Food blogs had no shortage of group blogs, and that makes me very happy.
The nominees are:
*Best Group Blog*
The winner is:
I'm of the belief that many of the posts that crossed out monitors this past year are as good as anything you'll find in the major food publications. The list of posts below represent some of the best food writing I enjoyed in 2004.
Your Nominees are:
*Best Post*
And the best post of 2004 is -
I wanted to ensure that kudos were given to sites that weren't blogs, hence this award. These sites below represent the best reference sites available to foodies world-wide. All these sites are worthwhile, but only one stood out from the rest.
The nominees are:
*Best Non-Blogging Food Site*
And the winner is:
Site design is a major component of having a blog, setting its mood and style. I consider this award a tech award, along the lines of "Best Cinematography" for the Oscars.
Anyway, your nominees are:
*Best Site Design*
And the winner is -
It's the written word that draws us in, creates an image and allows us to vicariously experience the moment that the writer has created. It's the strength of a food writer that inpires us to cook, educates us, and makes us feel as if we are sitting directly in the restaurants that the writers have visited.
The Nominees for writing are:
*Best Food Blog - Writing*
And the Winner is -
What would food writing be without the recipes from which we draw our inspiration? If you want to cook something new or exotic, the sites below provided us with recipes for all seasons.
Your nominees are:
*Best Food Blog - Recipes*
The Winner is -
Food and humor go together like peanut butter and bananas. Who below might be the next Calvin Trillin?
