L.A. Times on local food blogs
Happy New Year, everyone. I start this year off with a thank you to Amy Scattergood of the Los Angeles Times, which ran a piece today on our local food blogging community. While her story focuses on two blogs that merge entertainment industry gossip with the L.A. food scene, it also highlights many of our town’s most interesting pure food blogs.
In December 2005, the Times ran a different piece about our local blog community, and I’m glad to see several relative newcomers mentioned this time around, like Chubbypanda, and Rameniac. Prolific long timers like Pat Saperstein’s Eating L.A. and Sarah’s The Delicious Life also made the cut, while others like elmomonster’s Monster Munching inexplicably didn’t. Much love to you nonetheless, elmo.
Unique voices in the blogosphere continue to join our chorus. Welcome to the fray, and congratulations to all those mentioned.

Cool! Congrats to you Prof! Everyone on that list is deserving of praise. I’m also happy that this little food blogging virtual-community was recognized. But thanks for the props. That means more to me than being mentioned! I’m touched.

Yes, I’m baffled why Elmo was overlooked as well as Matt Bites. Daily Gluttony was one that I felt should’ve been included as well.

Yup, we have a great little gang of bloggers, and I’ve enjoyed meeting many of you!

Followup- after some consideration, I decided to post about many of the other blogs that were missed by the L.A. Times article. I came up with 26 additional greater L.A. blogs. thw article did stimulate me to see what other blogs are out there and to discover many new friends.
