I Heart Food Buzz- The Blog Awards Nominees

Food Buzz Festival 2011

It's time for another shameless plea.

The Food Buzz Nominations are out and I am nominated in two categories. Best General Cooking Blog and Best Writing Voice. Of course I am honored, but shameless pleas have not worked out so well for me in the past. So I thought I might do something else...

Instead of cajoling, conspiring or just plain begging. I thought I take a minute to thank Food Buzz. They have done a lot for the food blogging community. A whole damn lot. In fact I would say they may be one of the primary reasons we are a community.

Though it's no secret I have been a bit uncomfortable with the changes I have seen around Food Buzz. There is no denying they are an important force among us virtual eaters. Because when I gripe– I appreciate. When I gasp– I cherish. And even when I bitch– I love.

So let me encourage you to participate. Go Vote. Not only will the talented nominees appreciate your support, but it's also a way to acknowledge Food Buzz and all the hard work they do to help us connect, convey and yes compete!

Because no matter what happens. I do indeed "heart" Food Buzz. Now make the jump and go vote your heart. GREG

Well-deserved

Congratulations, Greg on two very well-deserved nominations. You are already a winner in my book. But of course, the freaking title wouldn't hurt.

I have a purple finger tip

I just voted for you in both categories. I guess I am out of touch because I don't actively follow and haven't heard of any other blog in any of those other categories.

Congrats Greg, though if I'm

Congrats Greg, though if I'm honest I sort of dread the pandering sure to take place over awards season. Food Buzz has never been a big part of my blogging life and I seem to be doing OK without it. When I was involved with them briefly I just know they way underpaid cpm rates on my own and other blogs because we were new, didn't know better and didn't know where to ask. You've got my vote...but they don't!

It is always gratifying just to be nominated as they always say. Just think your blog was chosen out of thousands of Foodbuzzers. Congratulations Greg!!! I think a celebratory Autumn Sangria is in order!

Awards

I, like you, have taken notice of the changes that have happened at foodbuzz. While I may have a gripe about the changes and lack of transparency, I have made some great friends because of it. And I've been able to find great blogs and voices like yours. It's a deserved nom. I love reading your stuff. Congrats Greg.

I can't think of a blog more deserving of recognition! Whether you win the award or not(crossing my fingers for you!), please know how unique, touching, funny and delicious your blog is, and what a tremendous addition it is it to the world of food writing!
